Ever since the Sept update my game has been very glitchy and lagging. When I click on objects and other sims there is a huge delay before the actions actually come up and some of the actions just do not work or when they are almost finished with the action it glitches and they do the tpose and just stand there and it doesn't finish the task. I've updated mods, deleted mods, and tried the game without ANY mods and the problem is the same.
I am experiencing this as well.
I reinstalled the game. I then even started a new save file. things were different but still massive lag and sometimes they would get stuck with a to do and can't move.
Thank you, yes it is very annoying as I would like to play my old saves. 🙏
brayleighms Does this happen in a new save? Please test for comparison's sake and let me know. Part of why I ask is that while there are a few interesting errors in your dxdiag, there's nothing that points to an obvious issue with Sims 4.
If the new save is fine, try loading the old save again and emptying your sims' inventories. If that doesn't help, move them to a different lot, preferably one with a default EA-made house (nothing from the Gallery or your own library). You don't need to save your progress; this is just for testing.
zephmeller12 Did you test brand-new sims in a default EA-made house? If not, please do so now—some user-made lots are broken, even ones that used to work fine. Some sims have issues too.
If you still get lag, please provide a dxdiag as well. Hit Windows key-R, enter dxdiag in the run box, wait for the scan to finish, click "Save all information," and save the file to your desktop. From there, you can attach it to a reply using the camera (Insert Media) icon included with the other formatting buttons.

Thank you for the quick reply, on a new sim/save it works perfectly. However, on old saves, the delay is still present.
I tried removing everything from the inventory, and moving households, but no luck there. Any suggestions are appreciated!!
brayleighms Please split the household and place each sim on a separate lot, then see whether the problem is confined to one sim or affects all of them. It would be interesting to know whether these sims have special characteristics as well—anything from an occult state to a mod-related trait you might have applied at some point. Even removing mods doesn't always flush out their effects.
puzzlezaddictI will try this now and I will update you here with the results, thank you again for the help!!!
puzzlezaddictI tried separating them and the issues were the same for both sims. Neither have any special traits or are any occults :(
brayleighms Please go into Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 and delete any file called lastexception you see. Try to load the household again (you can have the sims in the same household), and then look for a new lastexception. If you find one, please upload it here. The simplest way is to open the file, delete the first line, and attach it as-is.
puzzlezaddict Thank you, I did it and here it is :)
brayleighms This LE is from a modded game. Please delete the LE, remove your Mods folder, and try again to load the household. It's important to delete the LE so that the new one you get, if one is created, contains only fresh data.
