i really need help my sims 3 is so laggy

nvm i fixed i reinstalled ea but the game still laggy :?

@katelynwstxoxo  Have you tested in a clean Sims 3 folder yet?

i need help with that sorry i tried putting it on my ddesktop but it made a copy of the folder on my desktop 

@katelynwstxoxo  Please right-click the Sims 3 folder and select Properties > General, then list the Location.  I'd like to know if it's in OneDrive in case it matters later.

Instead of moving the folder, you can just rename it.

how do i check if its on one drive ?

and aslo im still confused on file locatation , and if its on one drive to i take it off and how ?

@katelynwstxoxo  Please post the full file path, and we can go from there.

how do i find that what do i do ?

@katelynwstxoxo  I described how to find the file path before:

---

Please right-click the Sims 3 folder and select Properties > General, then list the Location.  I'd like to know if it's in OneDrive in case it matters later.

its says this C:\Users\hello\OneDrive\Documents\Electronic Arts sorry im bad at this kinds stuff lol

@katelynwstxoxo  Right, so OneDrive is in fact syncing your user folder.  Do you want OneDrive to keep syncing it?  Do you want OneDrive syncing the contents of Documents at all?  I wrote a guide for changing the various options, but the first question for you is what settings you'd like to use.  Then I can explain what to change.

i want the one drive ogg of it but will it change anything ? like help iwth lag then ofc!

@katelynwstxoxo  Disabling OneDrive may help with the lag.  It certainly will help with the troubleshooting process.

Please follow the directions in this guide, specifically "I want to get rid of OneDrive."  If you have a question about any of the steps, just ask.  But it should be fairly straightforward; I wrote the guide a few days ago while testing OneDrive settings on my own machine.

Where you see "Sims 4," just substitute in "Sims 3."  And remember that you can always find your files at onedrive.com, in case you forget to back up something you decide you need later.

wait one drive is unstalled from my laptop i cant right click on it becuase its unstalled

okay i think i did it in the command promt it dosnt say one drive anymore 

@katelynwstxoxo  Great, so now test Sims 3 again.  If it's still lagging, rename the Sims 3 folder in Documents > Electronic Arts to something else (e.g. Sims 3 backup), then try again to play.  The game will create a new Sims 3 folder with no content, but your saves and other content will be preserved in the folder you renamed, so you don't need to worry about anything disappearing.  Instead, create a new save in Sunset Valley and see how it runs.

If you get more lag, please post a new dxdiag.  If you choose Reply, not Quick Reply, you should be able to attach the .txt file to a post here.

so the lag aint that bad but its still a bit there but not as bad as before it lags when i move sometimes and when i move my camera. but here is my dxdag again https://hastebin.com/share/yudezobosa.yaml

@katelynwstxoxo  Your dxdiag shows that Razer Cortex is crashing quite a lot, so please uninstall it and any other Razer software you're currently using.  You may be able to reinstall the app(s) later—sometimes all it takes to fix this issue is uninstalling and reinstalling—but please don't do that until we've fixed the Sims 3 issues.

Please also let me know whether your in-game framerates are capped, not only whether you've set a limit but whether it's being respected.  Open the cheats console (ctrl-shift-C) and enter "fps on" without quotes, and a number will appear in the upper-right corner of the screen.  Let me know what you're seeing, both how high the number gets and how much it drops when the game lags or stutters.

i been had it capped at 60 fps and i have tripple buffering on and put on high graphics, it goes to 60 then it will drop if i go to big lots and turn my camera ect it drops to like 30 to 40 

Also i just unstalled cortex here my dxdiag does it still say it its ther ? https://hastebin.com/share/ximoyocupe.yaml

@katelynwstxoxo  The dxdiag doesn't show whether Razer Cortex is installed or not; it just reports on recent Windows errors.  That's how I could see that Cortex was crashing.  There are no new errors in this dxdiag, just the same list as last time.

I mentioned this before, but please make sure you're playing only while the laptop is plugged in and charging.  Running it while on battery will throttle performance.

Please also go into Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 3, open the deviceconfig file, copy the first 40 or so lines (stop when you get to "Options"), and paste that info here.  This will show how the game sees and rates your hardware.  You can delete your computer and user names, about 20 lines down, if you want; the file doesn't contain any other personal information.
