The computer is maybe around 5 years old, give or take. Yes, the computer was specifically made so I could play the Sims. Yes, my computer was built by my husband who basically babysits world wide servers and knows computers. No, I'm not computer savvy, but do play the sims. I don't use mods, or CC.
It sounds like it wasn't really built with gaming in mind, or you have too much bloatware running in the background. My advice is to try playing around with the graphics settings. Lowering that can improve performance. While our desktop can play on ultra, my laptop runs better on on high. You might also limit what packs you play with per save. Disabling some packs helps too. My only other advice is to see what other programs are running in the background. For example, I uninstalled copilot on ALL our computers because it is never utilized and considered bloatware. I also uninstalled the xbox feature on my laptop, since it is never used. If your computer is still having issues, it may need to go back to windows 10 operating system. Windows 11 takes so much extra resources to run on older computers and can make them crash easily.
