As the title says...I am currently using a Zotac GTX 1070 Ti.https://www.zotac.com/us/product/graphics_card/zotac-geforce-gtx-1070-ti-amp-extremeRest of my specs:"Colton147147;c-17466500" wrote:CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600CPU: AMD Wraith Stealth (Stock)Motherboard: Gigabyte X570 Aorus UltraRAM: 16GB G.

This current PC (Acer Nitro N50-600); AMD Radeon RX 580X; Intel i7. Pretty much entry level; but this is actually the first PC I have ever owned with a dedicated graphics card. My dinosaur Asus is integrated into its i5 processor. The RAM was bad out of the box, and thus no games could be played. Once "Kernel Security Check" erros become so common I couldn't even do regular work on it; I decided to finally order a RAM card. Stock is 8GB; which never worked. I've got a Crucial Ballistix 16GB card coming, and while still obviously not high-end; I think it should be decent enough to play most games. While marketed to gamers, I chose the card with a heat sink due to the Nitro cooling being mediocre, and that the heat sink should prevent me from accidentally causing something to go wrong putting it in due to electrostatic discharge (which when installing, I plan to take all precautions; but good ESD-safe tools are pricey compared to the standard drivers and tweezers I own).

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6gb GDDR5CPU: Intel Core i7 4790K @ 4.00GHzRAM: 16GBI can play most games, even the newer ones on high or ultra settings just fine with 40-60fps.My computer is over 5 years old and I've been upgrading it. The next step would be to buy a new computer because this one is so old and the case is too small for bigger components.

I already checked out the post, but because I don't know much about computers I didn't understand anything about it. I've always thought that the lag and stuttering happen because the graphics card is too weak for Sims 4. I understand that completely, it can be scary to fiddle with files if you don't know what you're doing but make a backup and save that on your desktop for easy restoration. Open the games folder where you installed it, C drive or wherever you have it installed. C/Program x86/ Origin/The Sims 4/ Game/ Bin/ Graphicsrules and open it with notepad by right klicking. Find the lines I referred to in my tweaking guide and do the changes and save and then right klick again on the graphicsrules and go into properties and tick the "read only" and save. There is nothing wrong with your graphics card, it's the game that is pretty bad at utilising hardware properly so with this tweak the stuttering should stop completely, mind you there will still be a few fps drops BUT the frame rate is smoother due to the game having everything loaded and the graphics will be above and beyond ultra and the graphics card will actually be utilised and work properly. I might upload a copy of my graphicsrules file so people can just replace their own but the tweak is very simple so try it, you can do it ;)

I have to gather some courage before I do anything because if something goes wrong (meaning if I do something wrong) and my game stops working I have no idea how to fix it. I'm a master of messing up things, so I don't trust myself. I'll save the instructions and when my game gets extra stuttery/laggy I will try it. :)
