Re: Recommended requirements for Sims 4 and all packs?
@puzzlezaddictSo, I just checked for the type of hard drive, and it's a hard disk drive. The computer was purchased in 2016. It has only been about 5 years.
I usually don't do multi-tasking or have multiple windows while playing The Sims 4. It's usually The Sims 4 that is open. But, if I open the Task Manager, I can find a long list of background processes and apps.
Lag usually comes from the game engine trying to reroute stuck sims, or from similarly endless loops,
I think part of the reason why the Sims 2 runs more smoothly is that the game does not reroute stuck Sims. If Sims can't get to the destination, they will just stop what they are doing, and they may do something else instead. Also, it's a closed world, not open world, so all pathways are located on the lot. As long as the lot is all routable, it's fine.
