Hello :) tested just a few minutes and the trees, grass look really good now. SSAO looks strange but i never liked how SSAO looks in this game so i cant comment on that. Flickering inside the cabin its gone , outside i saw a few things flicker but minimal. Gpu usage remains the same as v6 at around 4-6 %.

Hi, thank you for feedback < 3 T.SSAO is solving flickering issue with SSAO and stronger is just option to increase SSAO strength a little bit, it helps to get some nice depth on foliage while driving. Normally its not good idea to increase strength because it would flicker more but T.SSAO solving flickering problem so its possible increase without problem

A friend who is also testing just told me he had an issue with the mouse being visible for a second when he is using his smooth camera mod. I guess u know about this allready :) Also after a few more minutes of testing i noticed the gpu usage is acutually lower than v6. With version 6 i had 4 to 6 % gpu usage buy mostly 6 and now i have 3-4 % gpu usage but mostly 3%. So i wanna congratulate u u did an amazing job with this update. Gonna test more on SSAO and let u know what i find. Can u make this game multicore too ? :D

Snowy Moon

Yep, there is a problem with smooth camera mod i can check it later after everything improved :/ Do you mean multicore/thread on cpu?

KaD

Yea , multithread but i was joking :) That would need an entire game engine rework i guess :)

Snowy Moon

Im not sure if its needed because it will help only cpu-side improvements but game is probably already running well on cpu because of average clock speed of a core is high enough for even cheap cpus

This is really awesome and the best thing that could happen to the sims. I became patreon for sure and will hope you can solve the little issue with the mouse flickering. Great work. Thank you.

Snowy Moon

Thank you < 3 Mouse flickering only happens with smooth interior camera mod, i will check that later after important updates are done

doubts: 1) previous version does not work.. why? I have the same version of ATS ETS that I had yesterday 2) why is an Internet connection necessary for it to work?

Snowy Moon

Its using api to get game function address etc so i can update without changing .dll file when game has new version also its important to people to use last version early development to get fast feedbacks and to avoid wasting time older versions
