    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/

        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)

        Things I have tried doing to fix the problem:

        Restarting PC

        Uninstalling and reinstalling game w/out any previous save/mod data.
        Removed mods, saved games, cache, and tray files

        Changed to Low Settings (Which I refuse to play on with my hardware) have the same stuttery gameplay, so graphics are not an issue.

        Defragmenting Secondary Hard Drive, where my game is installed (It was 43% fragmented)

        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.
