Sims 3 video recording problem. [SOLVED]

While recording video in The Sims 3 I had one problem. Immediately after I pressed the V key to start the recording, the sound suddenly stops working, until I pressed V again to stop the recording. But when I viewed the output, the sound works just fine.
How can I fix this problem? I remember this problem never occurred before.

Hello,


You could try deleting the scriptCache.package file at first, located in My Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3. Also, are you familiar with the tool "GameBooster" ? It might be related (a bit) to your overall system performance too.

Next, does that happen ALL the time, so every time you start the game and record stuff ? If the output is OK, I maybe would take this just as a minor glitch...

Keep me posted !

And yes, this happened every time I record something in the game, and as stated the output was fine.
I remember this issue not happening the last time I played it before reformatting my PC. I don't think system performance is an issue, because I've just reformatted my PC on last Friday.

I'm actually unsure now about other reasosn...it could be related to your sound-card drivers (that were "reset" to default when you reformatted the PC). Look on Piratebay for "IOBIT Driver Booster", and install that program (I can't post direct links to Piratebay here). Using that program should be self-explanatory. make sure to update all the drivers on your computer, and then re-start the game to see if anything improved.

Also...I remember the last time I recorded videos in Sims 3 was a year ago, and that's like before Movie Stuff and/or Into The Future was installed. Not sure if the problem has something to do with glitches in later versions of the game...

Sure, no problem. It might even be related to the latest 1.67 base game patch, but I can't really tell for sure. If nothing works for you, I would - for now at least - take this as a (minor) glitch. As long as the output is OK, it shouldn't be too big a deal.

I may even test that myself, next time I get to play TS3, to see if the same occurs in my game...
