I narrowed it down to my cc folder (I have over 100gb of cc, not even joking), I wonder if it's high poly cc thats causing my game to behave this way? I don't check it (I don't know how) but I do use Sims studio to properly tag cc that I get (because Modders often don't do it right).

Do you know what is considered a "concerning polycount?"

It clearly has to do with cc, once i had this issue, I got rid of the cc I thought it was, but I didn't check.

I could be stuck doing this forever.


Not sure about the clothes being the culprit but it is possible.
It would be from missing meshes or improperly made rather than the polygon count itself.

Mostly the high poly will make you game and pc slow down like when picking an outfit it takes forever for all the outfits to fill in the squares.
Here's some polygon info.
Checking polygon count.
Sims 4 studio > studio tab > Meshes tab. Polygons.
I try to stay under 25,000 for a top or bottom and under 50,000 for a full body cc and limit how many clothes I have in high polygons on a med/high end PC.
That is with alpha clothing, Maxis clothes generally only uses a few thousand.
