Auto-remove windows updates


  • Windows updates makes the computer run slow. When I help others to get more speed from their computer. I sit for hours and removes all security updates. Now it's the end of it. I have used the AutoHotkey to do it automatically. I have one for the Swedish system (tested on Windows 7 and 8) and one in English (not tested).
  • All you have to do is:
    • 1# Download file
    • 2# Run it
    • 3# Go to Control Panel> Programs and functions> Installed Updates and search for "update for Windows"
    • 4# press F3 (start script)
    • 5# Press the OK button (in the window that came up at point 4#)
      The script will start when the "installed updates" window is in focus.
    • (6# Abort with Escape button)

Sims 3 corrupt game fix

  • To fix the load game issues
    Use "Save" the first time you create your household.
    Then NEVER EVER use "Save". Use "Save as". (Yes you must delete some old savegames but the games loads a lot faster next time)
    When you exit sims 3 and the game asks you: Save game? PRESS NO!!! (Use "SAVE AS" before you exit)
    When you change city and the game asks you: Save city? PRESS NO (or continue without save)!!! (Use "SAVE AS" after)
    NEVER EVER click "Save". Only use "SAVE AS".

The Sims 3 freezes fix


  • The Sims 3 freezes when playing. Especially when you play Isla Paradiso.
    Why you ask. Well simulation is the answer.

    All households who are around you need to be stimulated. You say to your Sim to cook. But the computer must simulate all computer played Sims households around you to do things.
  • Computer do your sims stuff: takes 100 milliseconds.
    Computer do Scott family (4 sims) stuff: takes 4*100 milliseconds.
    Computer do Mark family (4 sims) stuff: takes 4*100 milliseconds.
    ... On Isla Paradiso are about 20 (4 sims) families living on the island that must be simulated. 20*4*100=8000 milliseconds. THATS 8 SECONDS.
  • The solution. Go to "Change city" and wrecks (move out) all families in the city. Let shops and other facilities remain. You will still be visited by Sims even if no one else but you live in the city.
