Performance issues, lagging, delays, stuttering

Hello Sims lovers!
I recently purchased the Sims 1 Legacy Collection on Steam with the hope of bringing back great memories. Haven't faced any issues with crashes. However, I am noticing consistent lagging. Even without visiting the community lots and just having one sim at home, these performance issues are very noticeable and preventing an enjoyable gaming experience. 

I tried running the game in lowest resolution options, windowed option, updating graphics drivers, tweaking the launch options in Steam, running in compatibility modes, etc. So far, couldn't manage to run the game smoothly, which is weird and frustrating because I also have the SimCity 4 Deluxe, and it runs very well on my system.

Any help/advice is much appreciated 🙏. DxDiag file is attached.

  • I am also having this issue. I posted about it almost a month ago. I know there are others experiencing this, however as far as I know there is no solution to this yet. EA completely ignored my post about it and I have not heard peep from them. I'm pretty angry. I ended up uninstalling my game and I haven't played it for a few weeks because of it. I give up. It's really disappointing.
