Sims 4 slowly turning into sims 3 mess
As alot of people, I thought something wrong with my PC but then I realized it's just the game with the recent patches.. Sims 4 has annoying stutter that happens when playing on large community lot...

Are you up-to-date on all the Windows 10 updates and graphic card ones? I have problems with logging on to the web Gallery every time after I get them as they reset. I'm tending to blame them now or my laptop by HP not catching up.
Mind you I dropped my laptop against a metal radiator yesterday and it didn't affect it at all so recommend HP for that!
I'm an IT guy and you don't need to update your graphics card everytime there's a new patch..benchmarks showed that older drivers (399.24 for nvidia) actually performed better than most recent ones..because most recent nvidia patches add new beta features (that I dont even use) that slows performance and the fixes come several months later that fixes only half of issues at most..you may only need to update your graphics card if you play the new games want driver optimization for it plus the new features (like Freesync nvidia patch..etc)
As someone who's not interested in the newer trashy games (last game I have is tomb raider 2018) no need to get the latest update..in many games they cause more FPS stutter and you need to roll back
My win 10 is updated..maybe not to latest build..the latest build including BIOS update actually slows performance few percent on intel system to favor security..
People needs to stop thinking you need to update to the latest patches in windows and GPUs in order to get better performance, don't fix what isn't broken..
This is EA poor management of resource when you play on ultra and on big lots or lots with alot of clutter..they repeating the same mistake of sims 3..too expensive to hire someone that can program this game to take advantage of powerful pcs?
Very insightful. I'm not a computer person but I automatically assume the latest and greatest =best. This is good to know. I have a gtx 1070 if I remember correctly. I don't know if brand makes a difference but I have MSI,
Windows 10, more cc than I imagine, and 0 studder or lag with sims 4. The only time I got studder on a huge lot was when I filled it with fog makers lol
