The most important little thing you can do to improve lag is empty the screenshots folder. It's always been this way, and I still have no idea why the contents of the that folder affect performance.
This reminds me: I had heard this, so I tried it. I moved all the contents of the Screenshots Folder in PC >Documents>EA>The Sims 4 to an external hard drive because I wanted to save them. But when I went back into game, all my photos taken with the Sims' personal cameras were blacked out. And when I tried to take new ones, they, too, were black squares. I had removed the entire Screenshots Folder contents by selecting everything using Ctrl A, but not the folder itself. Since it was the only change I could remember making, I did the exact reverse, and it fixed the problem. I wonder what went wrong? Is there some hidden file in there that the game needs, that would have gotten caught up with everything else when I did Ctrl A? Or maybe it was just a one off? Since then, I've done batches, but not All, with no noticeable problem.
