Re: Sims 4 lagging A LOT after new patch

Try updating your graphics drivers through the Nvidia site.

There are a few errors but the are inconclusive what it could be unfortunately.

    I've made sure my drivers are updated and I guess I'll have to see in the morning if that made a difference. Thank you for ur help!

    Hi, I just played for literally about five minutes and it happened again. It lags a bit before it stops working so I know when it's going to happen and I'm beyond frustrated at this point. I don't know what to do, and I'm really disheartened to play the game now even though I've been counting down the days and waiting months and months. I have no idea what else I can do.

    Hi

    Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199

    You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files  and make a backup.

    After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin.

    Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.

    • Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
    • Tray Folder
    • Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
    • Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave)
    • Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
    • Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)

    The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.

    Okay so I didn't bother making a backup of my save because I barely got to play it anyway so I just backed up my CC and I played the game without CC for about 20 mins and everything was fine. Do you think it's safe to start slowly adding back some CC? I'm trying to get rid of the majority of it.

    Make sure it's compatible but yes, you can start putting stuff back.
