How the Idles Bork The Game (Patreon)

Let's see how Vanilla game, with no mods, runs. Before looking at the video, here are my graphic settings:

DON'T FORGET: my PC is a desktop but it's a 5 years old (if not more) potato I bought with 400 euro (and that's the max I'm willing to spend on a PC, you're reading something written by someone who doesn't have a TV in his room, used a Nokia N73 until the other day and had a 2009 laptop with Windows Vista until 5 years ago {I still have it honestly}).

I have everything pretty high. So, here is the game with no mods or CCs, it goes pretty smooth... but pay attention to them talking to each other:

VANILLA GAME 

Now let's see what happens if I tune down the Idles, once again, pay attention to them talking:

ONLY LESS IDLES 

I only put one file in my mod folder:

And this file only has one tuning inside, and I changed only two numbers from this to this.

It didn't stop the idles, but it makes them less likely to happen, and no other modifications are needed, no lag fixes are needed, another thing that is not needed are 2000 mods to remove idles, because you can click them off and on as you like on the fly with SCAM:

go under "currently running autonomy" and they're pretty easy to find, unclick them and save. You can turn them on again if you want them again (don't turn off Idle chatting, since RoM patch, turning it off prevents sims from socializing)

The tuning I used in the video is shared below. This is set to 80/20 as for my taste, but I think it can be set with other numbers. Conflicts with my old one "Improved Autonomy" so if you have that, replace it with this one.
