so i started playing the sims 4 yesterday while origin was in offline mode and the game started to stutter /freeze for a second every few seconds. i didn't know what was causing it at the time so i tried changing every setting in the game as well as disabling any mods. Nothing seemed to fix it until today when i decided to check to see if playing with origin in online mode would fix it and it did. any suggestion on how to fix this for offline mode?
Could you try to turn of Origin in Game ? Maybe that's trying to connect and can't hence causing lags.
already turned off everything associated with being online
Just so I know what computer you have, could you post your Computer's DxDiag?

here it is
Have you done a virus scan on your computer lately and is your Windows all updated ?
You're specs as such look good but you have some issue wish windows programs in your DxDiag.
It's these in specific: OC_GURU.exe and GameBarPresenceWriter.exe
One seems to have to do with XBox connections (are you also use your account for XBox ?) and the other seems to be a file that shouldn't be giving troubles unless a virus is disguising as it (hence my inquiry)
I would do a complete scan to make sure it's nothing bad.
Also have you tried a clean boot to see if that helps ?
i went through and fixed everything in that dxdiag. it was not a virus just an old application that i do not use anymore so i deleted it. i went back and tested the game and it still happens i started in offline mode and it would stutter and then i switched origin to online while the game was running and it smoothed out. I still have everything that make origin attempt to reconnect disabled so i have no idea what it is at this point.
Did you also try a clean boot: https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/FAQ/how-to-clean-boot-your-pc/
I can try my game when I'm better. Currently sick in bed
