This is an easy app that adds most of the GPU after year 2013 to the list and its rules. 

Directions

Before even applying this patch, please run the game first, in order to determine if the game is working in the first place. If the game doesn't work BEFORE you apply this patch, it's not this tool's fault, it's something on your end. Refusing to follow directions, it's not my issue.

No, the Tool's Database is SEPARATE FROM THE GAME. If a newer card seemingly supported in the readme, but the App fails to say it's supported, DO NOT STOP AND COMPLAIN LIKE IT'S END OF THE WORLD. RUN THE FREAKING GAME.

Please, you must have a genuine copy of the game, not a pirated one.


    1. Click on TS3_GPU_Addon.exe
    2. Find your The Sims 3 installation directory (e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronics Arts\The Sims 3, no it's not under your Documents, it only contains settings and saves)
    3. Click Apply
