Sims 4 does limit FPS, yes.

Did you clean out your fan ? Is this a laptop or desktop computer ?

    How high are you FPS ?

    I'm really not that great with overheating and hardware issues it does sound like something is wrong.

    Are you playing other games ?

      i'm able to play all of my other games just fine. but sims is pumping out over 100 fps consistantly and I've read that it should only be running at 30

        100 shouldn't be that bad. 60 is what a limiter aims for so it's weird that you get more if you turned on vsync and triple buffering for your card. 

        I don't have an AMD card so I'm afraid I don't know how to do it there.

        They said they were going to limit Sims 4 to 200 because of next gen monitors so I would think 100 shouldn't harm your system much.

        What fps rates do you get for other games ?
