[CURRENT ISSUE] Game lagging horribly after new update

The last time I played the game, 1-2 months ago, everything was running just fine. GeekCon was in town, I had a blast socializing and riding the spaceship :D

I've updated the game today and everything is TERRIBLY slow. My Sim moves in a staccato/robot-like fashion, the snow flakes are not falling smoothly from the sky, etc etc... Basically, my game has suddenly become SLOW. And this is with just one Sim on the lot!!!

Is this a common issue after the new update? Does anyone please know how to fix this?

I have not checked the box for laptop mode under Game Settings, as I never had to! The whole point of getting this "gaming" laptop/graphics card was to run the Sims 4 smoothly. 

Thanks you for any help or advice! 😢

    Hello puzzlezaddict !! 

    Thanks for taking the time to reply, really.

    I've tested this with a new game, and the issue remains the same. In Oasis Springs, it seems to be a little less bad? But still laggy.

    Attached is the dxdiag; I hope it can give us some clues 😓 I ran this a few weeks ago, but the forum was closed/moving, apologies for the delay!

    My motherboard isn't as sophisticated, but I don't understand the change in the space of only 1-2 months.  Enabling laptop mode is the only way I can play currently, but life is a little lifeless without shadows...
