I really like the input from the community. I really want to upgrade to a pc that can handle all sims 4 games and packs. Something with good memory, graphics and storage. One that handles CC well also. I would like to hear what works best for you and which ones to avoid. SERIOUS responses please. THANK YOU very much.
Just so you know, I have a top tier gaming PC, but CC will still bog it down. It only happens when I start adding furniture, btut for sure, sims 4 just runs super slow with CC and sounds like a fighter jet as it takes off. So don't expect miracles when it comes to that.
This is not my experience at all with my 4-yr-old computer (stats above) and I almost exclusively use CC (almost 25 GB of CC/mods). I play on ultra and also run apps right next to the Sims game. I have a very large/widescreen monitor so I have Sims take up part and something else next to it and still no issues ... The only time I experience lag (.5 to 3 seconds) is when I switch to build mode or click cook. I think it helps to have a fast ssd. I have a better computer but I have felt no need to move the game over because this one plays it fine.
I don't have lag, but it does take long to load the game when it's instantaneous without CC. And that stutter when switching to build mode or searching is noticeable enough when you are not used to ever seeing slowdown.
My game loads very quickly. It's not quite instant, but it's fast enough to where I would never consider it "bogged down" by CC or that it runs "super slow". I just wanted to clarify my different experiences. My computer's fans also don't care about the Sims. The only time I ever hear them is if I try recording something crazy with ReShade with a ton of different shaders on while also playing 4k videos next to the Sims :# , but I have
never had them become noisy during normal gameplay. I don't have any lag during gameplay, even though I play on a CC-heavy 64x64 lot with a full household and lots of visitors. I've also upped the maximum amount of Sims on a lot from 20 to 40 and I'm still not lagging with ultra settings. My save is also 6 years old. So I don't think CC is that big of a deal for a genuinely top-of-the-line gaming rig, especially because I haven't even bothered to try the game on my new gaming rig.
