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.

Okay so playing with retina off is helpful... I put my mods back in and my original save file and it's about as laggy as it usually was before (which isn't much, and I don't mind it because I prefer having mods). But is there any insight on why this would have happened? Was the tiny living patch THAT large? Like I said, I usually have a few issues, i.e. sims freezing in place for a few real time seconds before moving to a new task, slightly longer loading screens, camera sticking at times. But this patch was significantly worse... sims were frozen in place for 5+ real time minutes, the sim game clock would just run along and everyone in the household is frozen.. the cursor won't move so I can select things, and I timed my loading screen from opening the game all the way to getting inside the household to play and it was legitimately 20 minutes long- it's usually just a few minutes like less than 5.
I guess my question is- do I always have to play with retina off now? Or is there something else that could be causing this?
