AMD CPU/GPU stuttering/lag/FPS drops in TS 2 LC? 7800X3D - RX 9070 XT

Pc specs: CPU 7800x3d - GPU RX 9070 XT - 32 GB RAM. 

Does anyone here using AMD CPUs/GPUs have problems with stuttering/lag/FPS drops especially when multiple sims are on screen and especially on community lots? 

I tried with AMD Adrenalin software but it doesn't give me any good results.  

I already played the game multiple hours and I want to give up. Please, EA, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!! I checked Reddit and I'm not the only one. I paid full price for this game!!!

  • Hi q5llvv6airst​,


    this is a problem that often occurs with AMD graphics cards and Sims 2. Have you manually reinstalled your graphics driver? 
    Can you describe the problems in more detail?

    Hi, install DXVK mod, it will use VULKAN Api instead of the default DX9 Api, i have a 9070 XT too, and it fixed every problem.

    DXVK Download button

    Download and extract the folder

    Copy whats inside the x32 folder and put it here if you have the Steam version: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\The Sims 2 Legacy Collection\EP9\TSBin 

    EA App version: C:\Program Files\EA Games\The Sims 2 Legacy Collection\TSBin\

    ( The drive can be different on your end, depends where you installed your game )
