Sims 3 Lag--High End PC (Somewhat Fixed)

Okay. I have a computer with a high end graphics card and midrange CPU. Now, I know that there is lag with ts3 but this it is just bad. My settings in TS3 are Medium-High and I have Overwatch and Master Controller with no CC. I have patch 1.67 with all EPs and SPs. Can anyone help me. This is my Dxdiag: http://pastebin.com/vuY7wcaV

BTW I use radeonpro for fps limiting and vsync.

    It happens in all worlds. It isn't like lag in the sense of slow framerate. It is 60fps, then 5, then 60 then 5. It does it just about every second.

    @mwdonohue .. the best thing to do firstly is to start with a windows clean boot... it might be software conflicting with the game.
    The fps will drop when scrolling around.. that's normal.

    Okay. I do the clean boot thing anyways. I know it is normal but I'm talking about 60 fps to 5 fps. Like really bad lag spikes.
