My main menu is not laggy it's in game in live mode that is laggy my FPS will drop as low as 18 sometimes ever since the realm of magic game pack or it could be the latest October patch either way it used to run so smoothly and now I cannot get it to run smoothly ☹️ with the new university pack coming out I don't even know if I'm going to play at all! hopefully it's a in-game issue and not a our PC issue that way at least EA if they could recognize that some of us are having this lag issue that they can release a patch to help us out

    @kreatora I tried playing without the internet on but it just will not stay stable still. I didn't change anything at all but as soon as ROM or new Oct patch came out, it makes my fps drops to as low as 18 at times. In Sulani my FPS is a stable 75 but my sims dog ended up having 3 pups and now having 5 "members" in that household started making the game lag like crazy! So I gave them all away and it started running good again. I just don't get it. I can only play with max 2 sims on a lot to have good fps and some lots regardless have terrible fps drops.... I tried deleting cache files, internet off, editing options in game and in Nvidia Control Panel, I have my power settings to high performance, I'm playing in windowed mode, I have no CC or mods... I gave up lol... ☹️

      It looks like sometimes your game gets too little RAM memory available from the system. Strange. Have you tried turning off any overlays you have on your computer? Such as Riva Tuner overlay, Nahimic 2 or similar. If you have MSI Afterburner and it is open when playing - close it. When open MSI Afterburner will cause FPS to drop in the game.
      Could you post your computer's DxDiag?
