New Computer Build Recommendations for The Sims 4 @ 4K Ultra + Mods

Hi @puzzlezaddict , thank you. I grabbed Simp4Sims's GraphicsRules.SGR file, it helped a bit. I also grabbed the No Fade mod mentioned.

The SGR files are just python files with a different extension. I modified the GraphicsRules.SGR, simplified it, stripped out whatever wasn't applicable, increased the size of various caches and limits, and I got some better results. The game now crests 10GB of RAM usage, 6.4GB of VRAM usage, and most importantly, my wife says that gameplay is smoother with "fewer bumps."

The .SGR files are located at "The Sims 4\Game\Bin" in case you're interested. I'm trying to attach mine, but I keep getting "Unsupported extension type" for .SGR, .ZIP and .7z.

I've went down a rabbit hole until 5:00 AM this morning with decompiling the game's python scripts, perhaps replacing the python environment with a better performign one like Intel's numerics optimised python distribution, and a whole bunch of random geekery, I'll see what happens with the rest of the day. :-)
