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...

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)@Nika444 If I was working on your system the first thing I would do is pull the ssd and install use a 1Tb hard drive and see how the game runs. The Antec power supply should be good although I stopped using Antec because of a failures after a year of use. Also I am concerned that you say only displayport works. This could indicate an problem. I would try a different monitor to see if hdmi works. It seems you have only one memory module. This makes the motherboard run in single channel mode. With two memory modules the motherboard would run in dual channel and give you a performance boost. You have some nice hardware - I just think it needs some tweaking.
@roberta591 My game is already installed on my 1TB drive, but there is no difference. I only have one monitor (which is a gaming monitor, so i don't know why it isn't working..) so I can't really try with another one. Also, what are those memory modules? Do I have to activate it somehow or it is just build in my CPU or something?
