My game is lagging
Hi I was hoping someone could help me figure out how to get my game to stop lagging. The load screens take forever and my sims perform actions for way too long. They often freeze when actions are ...

I tried what you suggested. The load screens still too extra long and the movement/camera was still laggy. However the sims actions seemed better and not stuck.
I've attached the txt file with the full dxdiag.
Thanks you for your help!
@swcheppes Try playing with no internet connection at all, as in, disable wifi and/or disconnect your laptop from the internet. You can sign into Origin first, put it in offline mode, then take your laptop offline before launching the game.
I tried this. At first it seemed to have worked, but after about 1 sim day it started lagging and the sims actions were once again delayed. I've tried it a few more times, playing other saves and still no difference ☹️
@swcheppes Are you still playing your existing saves? If so, please test a new save in another completely clean folder, with absolutely nothing added to it. Again, play while your computer is offline. While you're at it, disable your antivirus/firewall during the test. Since you won't be online, your computer shouldn't be at risk.
If you still get lag, please run a couple of checks on your Windows system files. Here's how:
- Hit Windows key-X
- Choose either “PowerShell (Administrator)” or “Command prompt (Administrator),” whichever option is offered
- Inside the window that appears, copy and paste “DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth” without quotes into the window, and enter
- The system will start validating soon. If it throws an error, please list it here
- After it reaches 100%, hit Windows key-X again
- Again, choose “PowerShell (Administrator)” or “Command prompt (Administrator)”
- Inside the window, copy and paste “sfc /scannow” without quotes into the window, and enter
- Post the message you receive here
If sfc found corrupt files and was unable to repair some of them, stop here. Otherwise, test again, also a new save in a clean folder while playing offline with your antivirus/firewall disabled.
I will try all this,thanks. But I want to be able to play my existing saves. After I try playing new game will that then fix the lag on my existing saves?
