The same issue with M3 Air
M3 MacBook Air
16GB memory
macOS Sequoia 15.5
CPU 8 Cores (4 performance, 4 efficiency)
GPU 10 Cores
The game runs extremely slowly, even on Medium graphics settings and 1080p (windowed and fullscreen, with retina disabled, etc.).
FPS drops from 60 to 40 and lower each second.
I installed the fresh game for the first time from the EA App.
Seems like it got worse after the recent update.
That's very disappointing. Worse as in new issues or the existing issues are worse than they were? Did you try the new user account on your Mac?
I tried a new user account, still dealing with the exact same glitch wherein a sim using a tv or laptop makes the game ridiculously laggy. The existing issues seem to be worse, as the game is now choppy in full screen even with v sync turned on. Honestly, I'm just giving up. Hoping a future update will fix whatever is going on, but I do know that none of these issues were happening until updates released this year. My M1 which used to be able to run the game in ultra mode has the exact same problems as my M4.
Not too sure what's going on but for now I'm just gonna delete the game. Thanks for helping though, and hopefully more people having the same issue post here.
😔 it's really very odd. I'm not experiencing any of these issues on my M1 or M4. Can you think of any commonalities software-wise between the two machines and which would have carried over into the new clean user account you tested?
If you're willing I can look through the full system report on your Macs but it would be quite intrusive. PM me if you like otherwise I hope you manage to get it resolved at some point.
