Severe lag when Sim turns on computer or TV.

Question

Happens instantly. I can't visit other sims houses because the moment they turn the tv on my frame rate drops to around 30 or even 20. I read that other Mac users were having this issue, so maybe it's specific to Mac? Not sure what's causing it. I do not play with mods or CC. I've reinstalled the game almost 3 times to see if it messed up during the installation somehow. Same thing every time.

& For reference, I am playing on a MacBook Air M4 16GB laptop.

Not sure how to edit the post but I also forgot to include this has been going on for a while, and did not only start after the two most recent updates.

You previously posted about lag issues here and I requested your save to test in my game installed on an M4 Max and M1 Horrible performance on Macbook Air M4 16GB ram | EA Forums - 12390229&nbsp;
Could you please provide links to where you have seen other Mac users reporting lag issues when using the TV and computer? Would be very helpful to read them.
