Low fps on good PC
Hello, I have a problem with low fps in my game. I had 100+ fps, but now it can drop to 30. My CPU and GPU usage is not at 100% so I don't know why my fps are so low. Disabling mods make no differenc...

@mrsbunny1003 Do you get crashes in Sims 4, or in other games? (and which ones) Are there any patterns to the crashes: Do they happen right away, or after you've been playing for a long time, or when you do something specific in-game, or use another app, etc.? Do you play in fullscreen or windowed mode? Please test the other mode and let me know whether there's a difference.
Please also try a clean boot, and be sure to disable any antivirus/firewall programs (temporarily—just long enough to test). Be sure to disable MSI Afterburner and RivaTuner Statistics Server as well, if you have either one running. Here's how to clean boot:
@puzzlezaddict moving everything to ssd didn't help.
@mrsbunny1003 Given the way your CPU and GPU are performing in-game, the next step is hardware monitoring. You can download hwinfo (free) from here:
https://www.hwinfo.com/download/
You don't even need to install; just grab the portable version, unzip it, and launch it directly from Downloads. (If you do want to install, be sure to click the green download button, not the orange one.) Restart your computer, launch hwinfo, and run it on sensors only. Click the icon that's a sheet of paper with a + sign on it to start logging. Wait five minutes, then launch Origin and Sims 4, and play for 20 minutes, then quit and end the logging by clicking the same icon.
You can upload your log file in .csv format to a third-party filesharing site and link it here. Or you can change its format to .txt (log.txt, not log.csv.txt) and attach it to a post here.
- @puzzlezaddict Looks like my fps problem is solved in every city but in San Myshuno I get about 40-50 fps with drops to 30. I'm sure it was like 70+ about month ago.
