Extreme Lag even with Mods/CC Removed
I'm hoping someone can help me here. I've been playing the sims 4 on my gaming laptop for years with a massive CC/Mods folder, previously 90g large. Over the last year my game and been getting extre...

Thank you so much! I gave it a couple days to try a few things out. I guess the game can handle zero cc, fresh save. But I forgot to try with OBS running. I still haven't found a fix for my save while running OBS even with reducing the population.
I am in the middle of an LP on my channel so I kind of need this save to work. Not sure what else I can try with this one. It's getting really frustrating and nothing seems to work.
@Simplycoya The next question is how Sims 4 runs with no cc but with OBS running (and absolutely nothing else). If it starts to lag, put the game in windowed mode, open the Task Manager, click the Performance header, and let me know what you see in terms of CPU use and temperature. You can post a screenshot if it's easier.
Thank you so much for trying to help me out with this.
So this is what I got from my testing:
NO CC & OBS Open
This is fresh brand new save with zero cc installed
15 - 23 FPS but this drops significantly when moving around the camera and sims going about their routine
CC & OBS Open
My regular cc folder installed
10 - 15 FPS but this drops significantly when moving the camera and sims going about their routine.
I attached my CPU & GPU from task manager in both scenarios (no cc/ with cc). My memory is much higher with CC (78%) but CPU and GPU seem to be around the same 30 - 40% for both.
I also deleted my local thumb cache file ad client db from the sims 4 folder when booting up both times. In both scenarios the lag was pretty significant the camera is stuttering and all around it just looks bad for filming. ☹️
@Simplycoya I was actually looking for the Performance tab, which is the second one from the left. This is the Processes tab.
