Re: [FIXED] Extreme Lag When placing wallpaper on walls

Hi, I'm having the same problem. It lags significantly when trying to use wallpapers. Build mode, in general, seems to be a lot slower. 

I hopes this helps ...

@midnight323

probably not the problem but you should update your graphics drivers. Yours are from 2017

So just an update I went back into game and I wanted to change the shape of the Greenhouse I had made on top of the building. Went in with the sledgehammer to remove some of the balcony fences and the game started lagging out. Moving the building also lagged it out for a good bit of time and then placing fences once it had started lagging as one of the balconys I decided to keep it decided it would lag placing down the fences.

I go back to placing IVY/Plants and the lag goes away. So is it possible it could be to do with something in the building mode since I have wallpaper already on the building?? Just a thought I had.

As said I don't use MODS/CC and I don't normally experience this in game but you know that and I know my Specs are way above minimum requirements. Hopefully this can get sorted soon and wanted to add these here as I felt they were related to the wallpaper issue.

Thanks

So I updated my drivers and repaired the game via origin - there's still no difference. I also noticed a lot of lag transitioning from Live mode to build/buy mode. 

I only have issues with the build mode tools. There are no issues with placing items in buy mode.  

Hey, I've had a really similar issue. Since the latest patch, my game has been terribly slow and laggy. I've had to reduce my graphics quality down to low (from ultra) just for it to run smoothly a bit.

I have no CC/Mods when I install the update nor when I'm playing the game after the update.

I've tried repairing the game via Origin and reinstalling the game completely, with no luck at all.

I'm having the same issue as well. Moved out my mods folder , updated, and started a brand new save. I have no lag at all when using the other build tools. Just with the wall paper. The bigger/more complicated the lot the worse it seems. Tried a simple square on an empty lot and it wasn't that bad. It also seems that the intensity of the issue changes depending on the position of the camera. It was worse at the front of my house than in the back. It crossed my mind that it maybe an issue of the lot, as I was building in brindleton bay on one of the 20*30 lots that have quite lush surroundings, and I had issues with the surrounding trees getting on my view.Moved the lot to the other 20*30 lot , still lush but the trees aren't that close to the lot, and are not blocking my view that much, and still had the same issue.

ETA : note that I've built on those lots a few times before and never had any issues before the latest patch

ETA 2 :added dxdiag file

Overall ? Did you make sure the game still runs on the graphics card and not the chip ?

I'm pretty sure it's running on the card; how can i double check just to be sure?

That's seems to be part of my problem; it seems since the update its now choosing to run off the chip.

Tried out what it said in that link you sent, but no luck, still progresses to run off the chip.
