Screen Stutter / Lag / Freezing

Same problem here, fresh install, no saved games, no custom content, just base game, paradise island and town life stuff.

Tryed with base game alone, then only paradise island, and only town life, reinstalled, updated 1.67. 2. 024017. NO WAY.

My rig is Asus g750JH, i7, nvidia gtx 780m, 16gb ram.

The game is unplayable, freezes every 7 seconds and stutters like crazy.

My video card is recognized, followed the tutorial to update the graficard file.

    crin wrote you back in your thread and may have help for you. I don't have uni maybe in general why I never had the problems your having. I was going to reinstall IP only because a saved game I have is using some things from that EP but I am playing roaring heights. Ill see what happens when I get the rest of this game in. I have to fix my microsoft issue first

    @PaulJazz24 I just noticed you have the ASUS with 3D screen? I wonder if that could be causing you problems with the sims? My computer is 3D compatible but I dont have the 3D screen. My computer will however work on my 3D TV if I hook my computer up to my TV.

    Paul, I just went and checked my DxDiag and noticed that both yours and my DxDiag read intergraded when our cards should be dedicated. I called ASUS and they said that a video card updated cause it and our cards should still work as dedicated even though stating it is intergraded The guy at ASUS put me on hold several times to check his book and had no clue what he was doing. Do you know how to change it back to dedicated? Im reading the insturctions in my manual and it does not match up with my version of Nvidia control panel. Thanks
