how to disable detailed Sun shadows, trees swaying, and moving Sun

i need sum help.

"My gameplay in The Sims 4 has detailed Sun shadows, trees swaying, and moving Sun (like in the first picture), and it makes my game very laggy. Previously, I didn't have all of these in my gameplay (like in the second picture) but suddenly they appeared. Is there any way to disable or turn them off?". sorry for my bad english

  • @putra2532  Press Esc or click the three dots in the upper-right corner of the screen, select Game Options, then the Graphics tab, and turn Lighting to Low.  You might also need or want to turn down Visual Effects.  Restart the game to see changes.

    In general, it's fine to experiment with different settings.  The worst that can happen is that your game lags, and then you know to turn down a setting or two again.

    @putra2532  Try enabling laptop mode.

    If that doesn't work, turn all the settings to the minimum.  If that helps, raise the settings one at a time until you find the one or two affecting the graphics.
