Hello there :D


I have been able to get into a state where I have been able to reproduce this behavior, and  I see that previous posts have asked you to delete the options.ini file.

I would like to ask you do something similar, but in game.

Please try going to your options and "Restore Defaults";  the game will probably ask you to restart, please do that and see if it makes a difference.

Thanks

@Bluru21 I can't tell if it's just been a long time since I looked at the game or not, but I did this and it actually really seems to have helped. After I restarted the game, I put it back on full resolution and slowly tested CAS from Low Medium back up to Ultra (where I normally play without issue). High is looking very smooth. Ultra is still a little laggy, but wayyyy more tolerable and playable (for me). And that's with many mods going.

I'm curious to see if this works for @candiecoatediv (hi, nice to see you 🙂 ), and/or someone with a more powerful machine who is also experiencing this.

Thank you so much @Bluru21, I so appreciate your attention to this thread.

    I did try this again and I didn’t notice much difference and I don’t know if it’s because I had already done this step previously or not. What I can say is that for the last few weeks I’ve been able to go into CAS and there is very minimal lag if I set the edge smoothing to medium but everything else is on high which is how I’ve always played. Like really I hate to think that my love for the sims is so strong that I’m actually considering buying a desktop...😳

    @twin-reverb-sims hi!!
