Sims 4 causes severe system lag (not in-game lag)

I've narrowed down the severe system lag to only when the game is minimised in the Dock. If the game is running in windowed mode in the background I can happily have loads of apps open and the OS man...

    This appears to have been fixed in the July 2022 patch, 1.90.358.1230.

Could you screenshot your in-game graphics options and add it to a post here? Also, how big is the save file that you reference? Is your Mods folder completely empty apart from the Resource.cfg file?

The save file is 23.6 MB. No, I haven't put any mods at all in yet.

    23.6 MB is pretty big, that probably won't be helping much. Disable retina and see if if improves the lag.

      I tried it with a new save game too though and had the same issues. Like I opened the game before transferring my own save file, created a random new sim and played in a household with only that sim. Still had the same issue.

      How do I turn off retina display? I'm not finding any info for that online.

        It’s the little check box next to Retina display in your in-game options.
