@nviiw According to Google, AWC.exe is a component of Advanced WindowsCare made by IObit, which is why I asked about that software. But it's possible that an entirely different program uses the same designation for a different .exe, so it's worth checking. The easiest way is to search for awc in a File Explorer window (click This PC in the left panel first), then right-click on the entry and select Open file location. The file path should tell you what program installed it.
@puzzlezaddict thank you!!! ok so i uninstalled it and ill try playing the game now in a completely new folder again and see if anything changes
- @nviiw update: no improvement ☹️ it seems like laptop mode was the only thing making the FPS increase a bit to max 35, my specs are supposed to be recommended not minimum so i know i can play with good quality and high fps, seems like my problem is something with my laptop or the sims 4 not using my nvidia card properly?
@nviiw Are you playing while on battery? You'll see a significant drop in performance while on battery; it's always best to plug a laptop in while playing anything.
To force Windows to use the Nvidia card, open Windows Settings > System > Display > Graphics settings, click Browse, find TS4_x64.exe, click Options, select the high-performance option, and click Save.
@puzzlezaddicti never play on battery, and i did what you said a while ago but haven’t seen any changes, weirdly the fps increases to 40 when i go into sims 4 basements level but unfortunately that’s it, i also did a windows scan but no errors came up and updated my drivers through installing a new one, still max at 20 for gameplay ☹️
