thesurferboi There aren't any obvious issues in your dxdiag, certainly nothing that would explain the problems you're seeing. So please try playing in a clean user folder, and let me know which issues are still present. Move the entire Sims 4 folder out of Documents > Electronic Arts and onto your desktop. When you launch the game, a clean folder will spawn with no content. (Your saves and other content will be intact in the folder you've moved but temporarily unread by the game.) Don't add anything to the new folder yet; just start a new save and see how it runs.
If that doesn't help, repeat the test but with your computer offline. You can sign into the EA App and put it in offline mode, then disable wifi and/or disconnect the ethernet cable before pressing Play.
I'm not saying either of these steps will fix everything, although that could happen. It would also be interesting if one of them fixed some of the issues but not all.
