I'm on Xbox One so I'm wondering if deleting the saved data files and reloading the game so they download from the cloud would fix it?It's very strange. I played the game yesterday with almost no lag but today, I can't even switch between sims because it's so lagged down.In the past, even at its laggiest, I would just hit the game menu button on my controller and let it sit for about 10 seconds, then it would clear completely up but not today.Anyone else have this issue and if so, any ideas on how to fix them?

I play on the game on my laptop and noticed it has been laggy lately too. So, I don't know what is going on. I have very little cc and only Twisted Mexi Mod for build buy. I like to keep my cc to a minimum and by a few select developers that keep their cc up to date. I don't know, very interesting.

If you have a Nvidia graphics card, it needs updating. My laptop started lagging and gave me the blue death screen. Which scared the bejeepers out of me, because its 5 years old and my previous three laptops died at age 5. So I did all the tests uncle google suggested. It all got fixed after updating my graphics card.

Uncle Google. That's frightening. ? (paranoid laughter emoji)

Interesting, I usually update graphics drivers once or twice a year.. this laptop is about 5-6 years old now.... Its working okay, but I havent noticed too much lag since the game is on a different drive which is ssd compared to HDD in laptop.

Only have MCCC for mods. @mcrudd Coincidentally, I had updated my graphics card drivers yesterday as I was having an issue with something else, I haven't checked yet to see if that helped with my Sims laggies. I'm glad you mentioned to check that though.I hope it helped you, my game is running great now, so far every time I had an issue there was an update for my graphics card, I should learn to check it more often before my game goes all buggy on me, I lost a lot of gameplay the last time with the blue stop screen.

My game has suddenly become extremely laggy.

Yeah, it seemed to be a storage issue because I've had no problems since removing games. But that sort of makes me worried, how many games am I going to have to lose to satiate Sims 4?

I actually had to un update my Nvidia graphics driver (roll it back by a lot) to get my game working again after mws

game be kinda weird lately eh

also for people on pc check if you have vsync on cause that was somehow unticked on mine whoch caused most of the super jittery stuff

Aha! I just checked and VSync wasn't ticked, that may be the root of all the evil laggies in my game. Will test drive more later.

@mcrudd Sadly, I did not see a noticeable improvement with the graphics card update. I hope the vsync on does the trick.

I don't know much about consoles but can you expand your storage drive or add on an external storage device? Or can you expand your RAM?

Yeah, I have an external, albeit not the most storage space thou and it's fairly full as well.
