Patch 12/02/26

Hi everyone! I'm looking around to see if anyone else is having the same issue. Since the November 4th update, I have been experiencing lag in-game. When it started, my Sims would not take command, the task would hover in their taskbar, and it would take forever for them to do anything, you can imagine how frustrating playing became. In the last patch update, I noticed a significant difference as tasks load, but my Sims still freeze for long periods of time. I also cannot pause my game in these frozen moments. I have tried everything, launched without CC, scanned my CC files for broken or outdated files, yet nothing seems to help. If anyone knows how to help, please help.

Thank you :)

    q79ddyjvx7io​  Does your computer run Windows or macOS?  Does this happen in all saves or just one or a few?  And is there any particular time the game freezes, or is it seemingly random?

    I use Windows, and it is happening in all my save files. It happens randomly,  I will get a few minutes where they can move around or do the tasks I gave them, then they stop, the tasks freeze or clear, and they just stand there. They do their little "human movements" where they will giggle or look around them, but not do anything about the screaming child at their feet or even make food cause they are starving, and I cannot pause in these moments, it takes a few tries and pressing all the pause buttons, and even then they still move around. I have tried resetting them; sometimes it takes forever for the pie menu to pop up or for them to reset.

    q79ddyjvx7io​  I've moved your thread to the PC tech section.  Please test a new save, for comparison's sake, and let me know how it runs.

    Please also provide a dxdiag.  Click Windows key-R, enter dxdiag in the run box, wait for the scan to finish, click "Save all information," and save the file to your desktop.  From there, you can attach it to a reply using the paper clip (Attachment) icon included with the other formatting buttons.
