Experiencing FPS drops and poor performance
I'm having performance issues with The Sims 4; my FPS drops a lot, which I found very strange because I play on an Acer Nitro 5 with an i5 12450H, RTX 3050, and 24GB of RAM, so The Sims 4 should have excellent performance. Then I started noticing a few things: my laptop screen is 144Hz, and the game can't maintain a stable 144 FPS. When the game is at 144 FPS, it's fluid, but it can't stay at 144 FPS all the time; it drops below 100 FPS and starts to stutter. So I tried locking it at 60 FPS, and the performance got even worse. I found this strange because I play Resident Evil 3 Remake at 60 FPS, and the game runs wonderfully. So I concluded that The Sims 4 isn't optimized for 60 FPS on high refresh rate screens like my 144Hz screen, even when I set it to 60 FPS in the settings. Besides that... My laptop is experiencing low performance and slow gameplay, which causes it to overheat, something that doesn't happen with other games. I'm reporting this because The Sims Direct posted that they are working to optimize the performance of The Sims 4, so I'm using this report to try and help with my observations. Since most modern computer screens are 144Hz or higher, I believe that if they optimize the game to deliver 60fps like the Resident Evil 3 remake on 144Hz or higher screens, it will greatly improve the performance of The Sims 4.
