I tryed it and it is really Recer_S style!!! :D Good work!

My suggestion is to use 2560 value for 3x22" (5040x1050)

Unfortunately, it doesn't work very well in widescreen actually :oops:
The tool seems to mess with the perspective a little, so getting the right values for strictly Hor+ gameplay in 16:10 & 16:9 will prove difficult. Besides, the usual Numpad keys interfere with the game's camera controls and the tool is somehow hard to Disable.

So, imho it's better to use Auto Enable with the aforementioned values (3360 or 2560) in TripleHead... and not to bother using the tool in widescreen.
I will report the game as being native Vert- in ws anyway, but will let ws users know the tool exists and they can totally give it a go.

To me it seems like The Sims 3 are actually designed for 16:9, thus 16:10, 4:3 and I assume 5:4 are actually Vert+
I.e. 16:9 is the "neutral" aspect ratio.
Which would be a minor flaw per the standards here, but sadly as usual they forgot about anything beyond 16:9

So if they had gone Vert+ for anything less wide than 16:9 (like currently) and Hor+ for anything wider than 16:9 I'd see no issues with this.
Alternative would have been Hor+ regardless.
Or even smarter, tuck away the option somewhere for people to toggle the behavior.

Still, very sloppy by the devs here, this isn't some small indie developer and company here. Shame on them.

...but 720p is unsupported :?
For all we know, 16:10 could be the "neutral" AR. The fact remains that the game is Vert-, and that it's not a problem at all except in TH.

i found my ways, remember those tower defense maps on warcraft 3? I did a path kinda like that, but with a walled off pool leading to the front door. Any sims want to come to my party? :)

The FOV hack does NOT work with patch 1.2.7 (crash to desktop).

The hack no longer applies to the current version of TS3; The master list needs to be updated to reflect this.
