Highschool extreme lag?

So I recently bought the highschool game pack and LOVED IT. But my game is maxis match ONLY. so i don't use mods at all! I have been experiencing EXTREME lag in my game! I even uninstalled it & re installed it and I have no reason or rhyme to why. When it lags its like the game freezes for maybe 2-5 seconds then its fine but itll do that every 5 minutes if not more. Does anyone else have this issue? I know it can't just be me my mother also has the same issues since she uses my account to play. It doesn't matter if i play offline or online it doesn't help.

    @w8mxiseke5gg  Look, the driver you have installed is NOT the one listed on the Dell download page.  You can compare the driver versions yourself if you don't believe me.  And your dxdiags both list a number of errors of the graphics driver.  Look up LiveKernelEvent 193 if you're curious.

    Yes, many players have seen increased lag after installing HSY.  However, for quite a few of them, the issue has been fixed with one simple intervention or another.  In fact, there are a few examples where the graphics driver was the issue, although most of those had older Nvidia or Intel GPUs and drivers.

    If you're not interested in troubleshooting further, that's fine.  But it's clear that the currently-installed driver has a problem that needs to be addressed, and that problem could also account for extreme in-game lag all by itself.
