@Millgaming1472 Please test the game now, in its most ideal environment. That means the following:
- Move your entire Sims 4 game folder out of Documents\Electronic Arts and onto your desktop. (Your saves and other content will be intact in the old folder but won't be read by the game, which will create a clean folder.)
- Restart your computer, and don't open any other apps.
- Open Origin, put it in offline mode, and then take your laptop completely offline, as in, disable wifi and/or pull the ethernet cable.
- At the Main Menu, put the options on low if they're not already.
- Start a new save, have a look around, travel, etc. to see how it runs.
This will give you an idea of what you can expect in terms of game performance. If you still get lag, the last thing to try is a clean boot, and again don't open any other apps, and take your computer offline before you play.
