lag

Yes. Especially with computers or electronics of any kind. When I put the cursor on them, the little wheel that means it's an object you can use doesn't even show up. If I click on a computer, nothing happens, but I can't do anything else with my Sims for several minutes and then finally the computer menu pops up. I've never had this before. Also, my daughter in the game is wearing the mom's clothes and plates that say they have seven servings left look empty. I've restarted, taken out the mods (even though I only reinstalled updated ones) and repaired through Origin. Still broken.

yes. I have had some lagging too. I thought my mouse was broken or something

Are you a laptop player ? Since EL my laptop fan is going ballistic even on a household with 3 sims. Pre EL my laptop could handle household with 6 sims with minimal fan noise. I guess it is the footprint calculation requiring more computing power.

game also lagging for me since update, in fact, it actually broke for a while after the update, had to repair it twice, and now, with no mods added, it has a seriously decreased framerate and lag, while before it was running smooth. I'm trying to figure out what to do because at the state that mine is is unplayable.

I'm playing on Xbox One, and my Sims using computers are causing a lot of lag. Sometimes it recovers and sometimes I get kicked out to the Xbox home screen. From what I have read, this one appears very buggy.

I'm getting a lot of lag in buy mode, or just after leaving buy mode.

I don't have the pack either and somehow it is lagging itself to oblivion, i have removed almost everything out of my game, even tossed it to lowest graphics settings despite my pc not even doing much effort running the game, still nothing, so i'm uninstalling and re-installing in hopes it fixes it.

Yes, I’ve been having some lag on my laptop.

I mostly have issues with lag in buy mode, but occasionally in live mode too. It's been going on for a couple months, even on high end computers. I know this because my computer isn't exactly cheap ($1200 +), and I've also seen gamechangers have this issue as well, and I'm sure they have good computers as well. So this is mostly a Sims 4 issue.

Press escape and open the menu and then close it. It seems to fix the stuttering, at least for me.
