[ARCHIVED] Lag for menu to show up when clicking on Sims

Product: The Sims 4

Platform: PC

Which language are you playing the game in? English

How often does the bug occur? Most times, but I feel the delay gets shorter the more often I click repeatedly

What is your current game version number? 1.105.297.103

What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Too many

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? click on another Sim to open the interactions pie menu

What happens when the bug occurs? There is a noticable delay between the click and the opening of the menu

What do you expect to see? No noticable delay

Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.

Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? After installing patch 1.105.297.103

I can't measure how long the delay is but it is very noticable (and even makes my body feel weird because I'm used to the smoother experience). It definitely wasn't an issue before the most recent patch.

Please note that I don't have any problems with the pie menu not appearing at all, which seems to be related to CL (which I don't own) and the singing skill. This issue is just about the delay.

    @TheSimsDirect 

    Yes, I still see this issue with patch 1.105.332.1020.

    I uploaded a fresh and unmodded save file here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1iep6qlZyd4Dq3GgcLQrNf318wOIsJhYw/view?usp=sharing I did nothing more than create a family and move them into a lot (the Test household in Willow Creek).

    To be honest I don't have the time and energy right now to create a video. I also don't know how to visualize mouse clicks in a video.

    I'm talking about a small delay of maybe a third of a second (just a guess). So it's not as long as the lag with the cooking menu, but it's still quite noticeable and wasn't there before the CCSP patches.

    Please describe the patch or change you made. The love struck patch

    I have downloaded the love struck patch and my game is lagging with social pie menu. I have a gaming laptop, and I deleted all my mods and deleted localthumbecache. Still the same problems. This happened before I believe with the horse ranch pack. I just don’t know how to fix the issue.

  • Whenever I press on a sim or my own sim, it takes like 10 or more seconds for the menu to appear. Same with like cooking clicking on the fridge etc. Its been happening for like 1+ month now and idk what the problem is since i deleted all my cc and mods and tested my game out but the delay was still happening. I even created new games and it still appeared. I can't play the sims smoothly and it annoys me

  • I just updated to 1.110.265.1230 Life and Death. After installing, I noticed that I was experiencing a 2-3 second lag but only when clicking on Sims, ALL Sims. I Updated ALL of my mods before even playing after the update but I get the feeling its not the fault of my mods as others have had this problem in the past and it was the fault of an update. It's super annoying but not to the point that I wanna stop playing, I honestly just wanna see is anyone else is experiencing this too after the latest update. I spent a lot of time researching and re-installing my mods after my update so I'm hesitant to remove them all again. But if anyone has any ideas for a fix I am all ears!
    Thanks.

  • Also experiencing this since Life and Death. It happens even on new saves, and I disabled mods to make sure it's not a mod issue. It happens for me for sims and for objects.

    Video (notice it's only slow on grim, but normal speed on my sim and his coworkers. Video also includes objects like fridge and computer being slow): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Fsht60UJsAcKsQXd6GCOgfNHLTRJJPxU/view?usp=drive_link

    @KingSneak95 I also experience lag on the sim panel when clicking between relationships, skills, etc. The calendar lags for me as well.
