massive framerate drop on M1 Pro Macbook Pro ...

Hi all, I play sims4 on my own Mabook Pro M1 Pro chipset... It has a lot of frame drops so i can't play game smooth and comfortable ... It is a just optimization issue or there is way to playing gaem smooth? ...

    How many packs do you have installed?

    What are your in-game graphics options? A screenshot would be great.

    Which version of macOS are you running?

    Are you using CC and Mods? If so please list some examples of what you have installed.

    Do you get FPS drops at particular times? For example, when on a populated community lot or in a large household?

    1. Only MC Command Center
    2. Ultra Setting with Full Anti Aliasing

    3. Mac OS 14.6 Sonoma

    4. CC and MODs also!

    5. in Household not large... Medium size

    MCCC is a Mod, not a pack.

    I need a screenshot of your in-game settings please

    Not sure what the definition of a medium household is in the game, it's subjective 🙂 Are the sims in the household doing any particular actions when you get the fps drops?

    Follow these steps to create a new clean Sims 4 folder, free of all your current user data. Start a new save and see if the fps drops are still present https://answers.ea.com/t5/Mac/READ-FIRST-Sims-4-Mac-Help-Guides-and-Troubleshooting/m-p/4612394#M163
