After the most recent patch, I can no longer play my sims game at all. Previous to this update, my game ran with no lag, glitches, or crashes on decently high graphics settings. Now, whenever I try to play, it freezes and locks down my computer, forcing me to shut my whole laptop down in order to regain control (even in windowed mode). In the minutes of time I am able to play before an inevitable freeze, there are graphics issues; incorrect/no textures load on furniture, and black polygons flicker around sims' faces/hair. I have attached images of these graphics issues.
Computer Specs:
MacBook Pro (Mid 2015), 2.5 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 Memory, AMD Radeon R9 M370X Graphics card, 166.06GB free of 499.07 GB.
OSX 10.11.6 (El Capitan)
Expansion Packs: City Living, Get Together, Seasons, Parenthood, Laundry Day Stuff, Vintage Glamour Stuff
-I had all of these packs and was able to play with them before the patch.
Things I have tried to fix this so far, compounding, in order:
- repairing the game
- removing all cc (I had no script mods)
- resetting the game to factory settings (backing up my current saves and then deleting the whole sims 4 folder)
- uninstalling and reinstalling the game
- uninstalling and reinstalling origin (hard reinstall, deleting all .plists)
- downloading the legacy version of sims 4
- disconnecting from the internet/origin while playing
- editing game options
- turned off retina display, edge smoothing, post-processing effects
- turned on laptop mode, vertical sync, windowed mode
- reset accessibility UI slider
- set all graphics levels to either low or off
None of these efforts have had any effect; the game is still unplayable. Currently, I am uninstalling the legacy version and reinstalling the original sims 4 and expansion packs, but have little hope that this will do anything at all. Any help whatsoever would be appreciated, otherwise I think I'd like a refund.
