Game lagging after new expansion pack

I'm glad I got my game working after update problems (although I certainly won't ever update again or buy new EPs as that's what always messed things up). But after I installed the Get Together EP, ...

    Didn't have much time to try finding a solution to this until now, and I did find it!

    Apparently it was a graphic card driver problem; I uninstalled and then reinstalled the AMD drivers from their website and everything's running smoothly now! So in case someone has a similar problem, try this ^^ Also, I had the lag in other games as well, that I didn't notice before because I wasn't playing anything else but TS4.

    Here's a guide to reinstalling: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKXP60WvdJg

Did you try if the 32 bit version runs better ?

    Did you start a new game for testing purposes to see if it also lags ?

      Resetting to factory settings is basically starting a new game, right? It lagged after that too :/

      I'd try complete reinstall but I did one before the new expansion and it cost me a lot of nerves, so I'd rather have my game laggy but working I guess xD

        Depends if you put your game back right away or follow instructions to start a new game (not everyone does but just try their current save game, so just making sure),

        Could you maybe post a video of what you are seeing ?
