[FIXED] [PC] Stop and go Lags/freezes since Patch 1.88 (Pronouns)

Thanks for all the feedback and information you all provided. It looks like this is fixed now. The game does still have lags but the issue that cropped up with the patch seems to be gone now. ...

    I want to thank everyone that provided information for this issue that allowed EA to fix it so quickly.

    Sims 4 is a very complex game when it comes to simulation, especially for older and long played saves so lags will probably be always part of it BUT it shouldn't be as bad as what you have experienced since Tuesday.

    There are a few open threads for lags that you can post in if you have these issues

    If you still have issues that are really bad, please post in the Tech forums of your platform, providing your specs and DxDiag so a helper can assist you in decipher these.

No, I will not try. Nvidia keeps my drivers updated automagicly through their app and it tells me I have the latest GeForce driver. I don't do beta-drivers or third part drivers. I shouldn't have to just because EA releases a bogus patch.

    @BylineBelife It's always good practice to update your drivers but it's of course your choice.

    May I ask what your GPU usage is ?

     The driver you are using for your 1050 is from 2020 and therefore really outdated especially seeing that you are using Windows 11.


    @crinrict linked to the newest driver from NVIDIA in post #149, this driver is not Beta or third party, it is the newest stable release Game ready driver for a 1050 Mobile.

    I don't know why GeForce Experience is not showing you a newer driver.
    What versions number has the installed version of GFE?

    I can't tell if ASUS has suspended the use of new drivers due to technical limitations of this particular laptop model, but I would recommend contacting ASUS support about this issue.
    Even if this particular problem is patch-related, sooner or later you will run into problems with such an old driver, if you don't already have them.

    Edit:Typo

    @holger1405 Installing the latest GFE now and it's installing a new driver signed 2022 right now.

    Thanks for your help Holger. I'm getting to old to keep up with all the computer stuff. Nowadays I want and expect the computers to do it all for me.
    Anyway, no difference in Sims4 though with the new driver, so I keep to playing my fresh hood and save my legacy hoods for when Maxis releases a fix.

    @BylineBelife Glad you got the drivers showing up now.

    Could you also repost your config.log file ? Thanks.

    @crinrict Here it is. Just played a bit. I will perhaps try one of my legacy hoods later tonight, after doing a proper backup first.

    @BylineBelife Thanks. Looks good. Just wanted to make sure the game still uses the Nvidia card (it does).

    @BylineBelife 

    You're welcome!

    After @crinrict already checked what card is used in your system all what is left for me is to say is that I hope Maxis comes up with a fix rather soon.
