theres fps drops and sometimes a little a lit bit of screen tearing when i move the camera and some times it frezes for a couple of seconds then comes back on
@katelynwstxoxo Some fps drops are normal, although framerates shouldn't drop too low. For reference, I have a desktop with an RTX 2070, and the game runs at a smooth 144 fps (capped) a lot of the time, at 2560x1440. But when there are wild horses on the lot, fps can drop into the 70s, and panning the camera anywhere around them causes some stutter. I've noticed stutter with other objects too, to a lesser extent. This is with my 2070 not anywhere close to maxed out. It's just one of the limitations of the game.
You mentioned the Smooth Patch by Lazy Duchess, and I do think it's worth using, minus the two .package files, which can conflict with NRaas mods. Keep water and high-detail lots to "mirrors only" and 2, respectively, to keep from overtaxing the game engine. If you're not particularly into horses, I'd suggest disabling them in the game options—as mentioned, wild horses can cause fps drops and stutter, and so can domesticated horses in other households.
Having said that, you shouldn't be seeing micro-freezes. Please try playing while your computer is offline. You can sign into the EA App and put it in offline mode, then disable wifi and/or disconnect the ethernet cable before pressing Play. And please also disable the EA App's in-game overlay; the option is under Settings > Application.
so i did everything you said i even tried offline mode it loads faster but i still get this like jerky lag whe i move the camera still i aslo have into the future it lags a bit more when my sim going to that world in the house idk why
And it sucks because when i go on big lots like mansions and stuff it lags like so bad its so jerky fps drops like crazy and i wanna play on big lots with a family :/
@katelynwstxoxo Please try playing in a clean boot: I'd like to see whether any other apps are interfering with the game.
The one service to leave enabled is the EABackgroundService, which the EA App needs in order to run. Disable the rest as described.
When you reboot your computer, go through the Task Manager's background processes list shutting down anything that doesn't absolutely need to be running, for example Asus software might still be active, and you'll need to close it manually. If you accidentally kill what turns out to be an essential process and it doesn't restart on its own, just reboot your computer again.
Please still test a new save and while your computer is offline.
One more thing: please test in both fullscreen and windowed modes. While in fullscreen, play at an in-game resolution of 1920x1080.
i did the boot and did what it told me to do but idk what happend when i restarted my laptop started acting weird and i had to trouble shoot and reset my whole laptop becuase it was bugging out it wouldnt even let me sign into my laptop i had to look up a tutorial
