Experiencing frequent lagging and shuddering after recent update for Sims 1.

I don't like having to complain on these forums but I'm not seeing any solution to the issues after these updates. My last post was about the UI scaling being too small and really difficult to see. This was the only issue that I really had apart from the game crashing whenever the burglar turned up. However, the burglar thing was resolved.

After the last update I saw no improvement to the UI size but only more issues. Even when i changed the settings in the game. Since the update, my game is now lagging quite a lot and shuddering. It's jerky as and it was working completely fine before this update so its NOT my PC and I'm getting annoyed with EA assuming it is. It's not just me experiencing that. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game 3 times, I've removed custom content and nothing has fixed the issue. I'm disappointed because the sims 1 is one of my favourites and now I can't even play it because of this shuddering. Its just too frustrating. Edge scrolling still doesn't work now either when it did before the update. Can you please just figure it out and fix it already. 

Here's a tip. Before you release a game, get a whole heap of people from the general public to test the game on their personal PCs so you can see how it goes for all different systems/set ups. In fact, I'd be happy to test it for free myself with my friends. It's not hard and then you could release the games confidently so you don't have to be harassed from us gamers lol. I'm sorry but I don't understand how such a massive company doesn't consider this. If it's about the money, people will be happy to spend more if you give the people what they want. Simple.
