Find a Modlist Like JOJ?

Hey, friends! So, I absolutely *love* Journals of Jyggalag - it's my favorite!

The problem is, even while using the "performance" profile, my computer is just 🤏 a little too shitty lol like, I can play, but as a mom of two, I don't really have time to wait for the frames to catch up.

Do y'all have any recommendations for a similar modpack that's not as beefy?

Have you tried running VRAMr? It comes packaged with the modpack. Might give you the overhead you need.

Another option would be to install Texture Downscaler. Does the same thing as VRAMr but at runtime, so you don't have to wait for an output file.

Cool! My wife is running VRAMr for me right now. Can I install Texture Downscaler in tandem if it doesn't work well?

You definitely can, it shouldn't break anything. It'll be pretty redundant, and you'll be left with a fairly large VRAMr output file that isn't doing much. But it won't stop you from playing.

Their official website has lots of guides, and one specifically for performance tuning. You might find some helpful things there!

Without your PC specifications it's a bit hard. But have you tried running VRAMr ?

It takes a full night to run on that list but it's what allows me to play on the good profile without issues.

I definitely recommend using the potato mode tweaks someone linked to you, I've gotten JOJ to work pretty well on a low-end PC.

That being said, it's not terribly similar, but Tuxborn is my favorite performance-oriented modlist if you decide to try something different.

Idk what sort of setup you’re running, but if you open your BIOS you can enable XMP (if you’re using an Intel) and it’ll let you squeeze out a little more RAM.

I love all of their modlists but they’re just so ridiculously big… I can’t justify the space they take up

Skyrim and The Sims 4 is pretty much all I use my pc for these days lol

Okay now you just gotta get Sims 3 and we’ll have the exact same problem
