Random lagging when moving camera
For the longest time, my Sims 3 game ran smoothly, even with all expansion packs, a lot of the store content as well as custom content. But recently, whenever I play a game - in a brand new world or ...

@ManeEvent4U2 Some stutter, especially at high speeds and/or with the camera moving, is inevitable in TS3 due to the way it was made. (Camera stutter is different than lag, where the game clock pauses for a few seconds and then catches up all at once.) But if you want to know whether there might be a problem in your game, you can run a dxdiag on your computer and attach the results here (use the browse button).

It would also be helpful to see the first 40 or so lines of the deviceconfig file inside your TS3 game folder. This will show how the game is evaluating your hardware. You can attach that file too or just paste the first part into a response.
I've finished running the DxDiag and have saved it. However, when following the instructions to submit my results to my case, it's telling me I currently have no cases with them, and I have attempted to submit a file through here, however, it has not worked. I've never heard of DxDiag before, so sorry for my noob-ness xD
@ManeEvent4U2 I meant that you could attach it here, using the "browse" button below the text field where you type your reply and above "preview" and "submit." You wouldn't really want EA help looking over your dxdiag, anyway—it's not what they're trained to do. If you post it here instead, I can read it, as can other responders who'd like to help.
I'd also like to see the first 40 or so lines of your deviceconfig, inside Documents\EA\TS3.
On my screen, the only thing I see in that location is the "choose file" button, which I assume is the browse button. Unfortunately, it won't let me submit the file here.
And these are the first 40 lines of my deviceconfig file:
