@Kittekassitar Are you seeing lag in-game, or just in the launcher? Issues with the launcher itself shouldn't be causing any in-game symptoms.
Anyway, for the launcher, try clearing the cache for Internet Explorer. Even if you never use it, the launcher does for some purposes. Be sure to uncheck the box to preserve data for favorite sites.

If the game is lagging, please run a dxdiag and attach it to a post.

Please also let me know what world(s) you're currently playing in, and whether you've taken steps to manually limit your in-game framerates.

Unfortunately launcher clearing did not fix it anything, and yes the game is lagging.I post dxdiag here.I uninstalled the full game and reinstalled it but nothing changed, same error. And I have all the dlc, all the cities, and all the refurbished houses ,and things from 2009-2014.The game is big!

@Kittekassitar For now, try bypassing the launcher entirely. Since you're on patch 1.67, you can launching the game directly from TS3W.exe without opening the launcher at all. That should at least eliminate the launcher as a source of issues. If you don't have a desktop shortcut for TS3W.exe, you can find it within the game's program files, probably here:
Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin
Please also let me know what in-game framerates you're seeing. If you haven't taken steps to manually limit it, your fps could be far too high and cause all sorts of issues. To see your framerates, bring up the cheats console (crtl-shift-C) and enter "fps on" without quotes. Let me know both the steady number and whether you get significant fluctuations. A rough estimate is fine for both.
If you still see lag, please open the Task Manager and end any background processes with the name Nahimic or AVolute, then test again. (Any essential processes will restart the next time you reboot your computer, so there isn't any risk.) Your dxdiag lists a couple of Nahimic crashes, which may or may not be game-related, so it's worth testing.

Fps is 58-60, most of the time it is 60 (and goes crazy), no more, there is probably some kind of limiter? Lag is huge ☹️ Other things didn't help ,and these old errors were probably related to Twitch. More ideas?
