Constant small freezes/stuttering

Before I start, I know that there are a myriad of issues happening due to the recent update and hot fix this month (march 2026) and that everyone seems to be having a lot of issues due to cc and game launching. However, I'm not seeing much (I havent delved too deep) about people experiencing stuttering or lagging. I started a fresh save (with cc, but all updated and cleaned out anything I wasn't sure of) and in CAS I cannot even get through editing a sim because of the sharp stuttering and lag every time I scroll or go to select an option in any of the menus. I'm currently doing a repair and have removed my mods folder as well as the thumbnail cache file but I was wondering if theres a specific fix for this kind of thing. Never had any lag or stuttering issues before this update or any time in the past beyond the very occasional and fast ending lag spike when traveling, selecting a new sim or going out of 3x speed.

Any help would be great and will close this discussion if the repair works.

Thank you.

    I think we’re experiencing the same issue. I got rid of all my mods and reinstalled the game and it’s still lagging. Good luck to you 🙏
