Hi
Reading your dxdiag I see that you PC is fine, it's slightly better than mine and I play smoothly at 1080p and mostly top settings, so the problem is elsewhere, also, your card's driver is exactly the same as mine, so that souldn't be a problem, and updating it won't do much good, since your graphics card is not new, using a newer driver won't do anything, depending on the version might even worsen gaming performance, update only as a last resort.
I have this tip: boot the game, on the options menu look for every online feature you can find and turn it off, I'm going through some troubles of my own now so I can't open and tell you exactly what options to turn off, but they should be fairly obvious, it's anything that would require an internet connection, just turn all that off, save, quit, boot again. The reasoning is that the game lags terribly when it's loading online stuff, god knows why, usually it disappears after a minute or so on pause, that is, if you're in-game and not on the title screen or something, but not always, sometimes it hangs for a long time and you have to reload the whole game, but, if it persists, it may require someone with more expertise than me, this is as far as I know about unbearable lag.
Ok so I've downloaded GeForce driver updates and they're all up to date now. But now the game won't even open up. I'm tempted just to go back to Sims 3 instead haha
I'll certainly work my way through those things when I have the time to, thank you for trying to help!
I'll load up Origin and click to play sims and a white screen will load up as if it's trying to open it but then it just goes back to the origin loader. My PC doesn't freeze it just doesn't start up the game
