Perfect graphic settings for MacBook Air M1 8GB base model (all expansions)?

Hello everybody,

I am currently trying to fine tune the Sims 4 graphic settings for my 2020 base model Macbook Air M1 with 8GB memory.

I am currently using an external WQHD monitor. I lowered my resolution to 1080p and use medium settings + laptop mode enabled but it's very laggy and does not look pretty :-( 

Would you guys mind sharing your "battle proven" Sims 4 graphic settings that are running well with all (or a lot) Sims 4 addons for you on longer periods of time? A quick screenshot of your settings would suffice :-)

    Here you go:

    Yeah, I need to update Monterey 🙂

    My game is super smooth. I have this Mac on a USB cooling fan thing to help with cooling and because the machine doesn't have a fan. All packs and kits to date installed. I don't really play community lots, my sim is very solitary so there's never more than 2 or 3 sims on the lot at any time. I do sometimes play with high-poly alpha CC and it still plays well.
