How to make Sims 4 run better on a laptop??

Back in the day sims 4 ran well on my laptop but the last year or so it runs terribly. It is terribly laggy. Does anyone have any tips to make it run better on my laptop????

  • In settings under graphics, there’s a box “play in laptop mode” or something similar. Do you have that one checked?
  • ill have to check i dont remember but thank you!!!! hoepfully that fixes it
  • Some things to try, but they're not guaranteed to help:

    • repair your game
    • delete cache files
    • empty your screenshot folder
    • remove extra saves from your saves folder (if you have a bunch of saves that you no longer play -- move them to another folder)
    • add the simulation lag fix mod

  • You could also check your game settings, that you don't have it set to high details and reflections.
  • thank you everyone! it did help a bit to put it on laptop mode and stuff but i think im just gonna get a smaller laptop for school and stick to sims on my desktop.
  • I play on a MacBook and I noticed the more objects I have on a lot the more laggy it becomes. My most laggy household is the one that has the most cluttered house (and the one with the most cc as well).
