I recently purchased the country living pack & had issues with it installing I had the game but the world wasn't showing yet I had All hair and cosmetics for the pack, anyway that issue got fixed but since my game is now really and I mean Really slow and laggy. I've saved and restarted the console. Powered it down at rhe plug and back on. I've deleted old games to free up space. The game just goes really slow and freezes momentarily then moves really slow after it does finally catch up. Its really annoying and stopping me playing the game to be honest. It's to the point where its not playable because its just so slow. I'd appreciate any help wiv this thanks , I'm on ps4 and all game and system is upto date also. X

This has been going on for a while and they still don’t bother to try and fix it. They really don’t care

I'm having the same issue to and it's ridiculous how bad the game lags. It should not be lagging at all om console imo. I used to play the sims 3 on ps3 and never had issues with performance I would of thought the ps4 sims would of been better. Attention ea you really need to fix this. The game is not enjoyable because of this and all the money I put into the sims game and all the packs I deserve better. It's 2023 come on now.

@VisualSiren89xPeople spend way to much money on Sims 4 for this crap to keep happening. They update/fix PC right away but just leave consoles like ps4 etc for dead. Which is why i already joined a law suite against EA. Their lack of response and just all around lack of care is sad. This is 2023 and its not like Sims 4 is a new game or anywhere close to a new game lol. People purchased sims 4 to play not to just sit on their console taking up space...and being out hundreds of dollars. So at this point i say everyone should sue EA !!!

The reason it’s lagging on you is because auto save kicks in you have to go into your storage and go into the game and delete auto and then go back in and the lagging will quit unfortunately auto will kick back in again ever two hour of play time.

Cant even build. Just sit there counting the mins until the cursor moves.

@VisualSiren89x There's an issue with going into or out of build mode or the CAS that is causing massive FPS drops in the game. The FPS never recovers and it's very bad right now.

The bug report is here:

[ALL] Experiencing Bad FPS loss/Lag in Build Mode please use Severe FPS loss (Lagging) when entering/exiting Build Mode

A help thread for dealing with AI and simulation lag is here Autonomy and Simulation Lag

In game you can try opening the sim info panel and closing it, or in build mode or the CAS opening the cheat bar and closing it. Sometimes it helps to fix the frame rates.

That didn't help it to be fair , also my sim is frozen in the llama barn and won't move or do anything. She's got commands upto the top of the screen which I've Never seen befor ? Usually you can only have like 6 or however many commands at one time I've never seen them stretch upto the screen before? Very weird

@VisualSiren89x That does sound like something else. What command is being stacked?

Can you travel away from the lot with the sim?

There is no auto save... If you don't save it yourself you lose data the game warns you of this. Lagging isn't because of auto save

@gefeellyvfk3 Auto save only happens when you leave your game with or without saving the game. it won't auto-save while playing the game and if close the game without quitting it. You will lose your progress.
