1stly, below are my laptop info and the game setting
Explaining the problem in the game:
The pictures above shows normal beautiful polar light in a windy snow weather and the light cause no issue in my game. However during the sunny day in any season, I've Seasons EP, these phenomenons happens
From Top to bottom: Midaytime, dusk period, view above my in-play sim's residence and last two are views from ground level. All of my in game frame rates not only drops also my game's respond to in put command delays because of the Aura-light. I have to pause constantly to proceed the game which is tediously slow.
Other Worlds from different EP has no such issue like above, only in the Harbour City where I finally turn polluted city into green city. Ironic that I've negative consequence above for doing a good deed. ~sigh~
Let me know if the Devs need my save file.
I'm getting a very similar experience on Chateau Peak, the lightrays are crippling the performance of my laptop. when i zoom out it is literally impossible to see anything but these stacked lightrays and the whole laptop slows to a crawl. When zoomed in to avoid most of the rays being drawn into the image, i'm lucky to see 15 fps.
There are moments the rays stop and start back up and in those moments the performance increases back above 30fps and the laptop fans aren't working overtime on cooling. I don't want to disable the pack, but it would be nice if the environmental effects like light rays and smog can be toggled on or off instead without affecting any of the dlc mechanics.
