Can you try a whole new Sims 4 folder, not just removing some cache files, and see if that makes improves performance? Instructions - [INSTRUCTIONS] How to troubleshoot and test a broken game | EA Forums - 11864548 If it does how is performance affected when you add your saves back in?
I followed the steps and it did not noticeably improve performance. I still experience lag and slowness that shouldn't be there on such a new machine.
Maybe you have something running in the background using a lot of resources? Have you checked CPU and memory usage in Activity Monitor?
I have not checked the activity monitor however I only play with my browser open in the background, which only has a few tabs open. Should I try playing with absolutely nothing open in the background?
Yes, close all other apps. Some browsers generally use a ridiculous amount of memory and the web pages you have open can also have an affect on system performance. What about stuff running in the background? Anything significant will often have an icon in the top right corner of the menu bar.
