The Sims 3: Laggy game/low game performance
Hello, I have some performance issues with The Sims 3. My game is choppy and freezes often and is laggy. I have all expansion packs and those are my PC specifications: - GTX 1060 6GB - i7-6...

@Nika444 You didn't post how much free space you now have on the ssd. You really need to post ALL your computer's specs to do a complete analysis. Make and model of memory modules. Power supply make and model. Why you are using display port instead of HDMI. The monitor has 144Hz refresh - not 60Hz but should be ok at 60Hz. Just because you have nice hardware doesn't mean you can max out settings - setting AA (anti-aliasing) to max will greatly affect performance of the video system. Large Address Aware the Sims 3 is a 32 bit application and because of the way compilers work will probably not use more then 2Gb of memory - yes the 4Gb does help some but if your game is patched to the latest patch, TS3 should already be set with the 4Gb patch. IP (Island Paradise pack) is very demanding. Why do you have 2 virtual images - why are you using daemon tools.
@roberta591
My SSD has now around 51 GB free space.
I don't have a HDMI cable, but I will buy it then.
AA setting in the nvidia settings or in the game...?
I have Daemon tools, because I used to use it in the past, but how does that affect my game?
I uploaded the dxdiag file, so I thought I already posted all of my computer's specs. I don't really know what more can I do?@Nika444 Here is a link that explains the game setting for AA - Sims 3 AA setting explained The dxdiag lists most of the important specs but can't display stuff like power supply make and specs - this can only be done by opening the case and looking at the power supply. The dxdiag won't tell you the quality of your memory modules. This can be done with a program like cpuz (a free program). The Daemon tools program sometime interferes with some games as it uses a device driver that is loaded whether you are using the program or not and when you save an image it is stored to the disc you have Daemon tolls configured to use - this can cause issues if disc space is a problem.
@roberta591 I uploaded a picture of my power supply and a report from cpuid cpu-z.
EDIT: I'll give a link to my picture since u can't see stuff on it really well when I upload it here, because it's so small, I hope it's not a problem. My power supply: https://prnt.sc/fdcmru
EDIT 2: I can't connect my monitor via HDMI cable or DVI cable (when I try to choose another input than DisplayPort in my monitor's options menu, it just doesn't work. Only DisplayPort works, I don't know how to fix it)
