My Sims 4 Laggy and Slow
Hello, My Sims 4 is very choppy, has slow queue for actions, and is unplayable because my in game time is being used up so fast while my Sim does absolutely nothing.
This problem started a couple weeks ago, while happening before, I could usually restart PC and game would be okay. I run on the game on Ultra, as I do with every other game I play (Which have no performance issues after initial startup.) I also use Border less Windowed mode, as I do with every other game)
I have tried reinstalling the game, removing all save files, tray files, and mods, to no avail. (NOTE: I did save backups of old files and put them on the reinstall, since there was no performance change with or without.)
My Setup:
- GTX 1070
- Intel i5-4690k
- 1 TB HDD
- Windows 10
Any help is much appreciated. I like this game, and would like to continue playing it, but this problem makes the game frustrating.
We're looking at your post, I've forwarded your post to a CM to double check as I don't see anything wrong with your DxDiag at the moment. You seem to have a powerful computer, that shouldn't be lagging at all.
In the mean time you could try some other things:
- See how the game runs without the screenshots folder in.
- Check if you have any spyware on your computer.
- You could also check what is asking so much in your processes bar (ctrl+alt+delete) when the game is lagging, is it The Sims 4 or a different program?
- And you can always try a full clean boot: http://sims4.crinrict.com/en/2014/09/resetting-the-game-to-factory-settings-without-reinstalling/
