Pie menu lag

Noticing that there is severe delay with opening the pie menu when clicking on my sim or even to just click the fridge. I have taken out my mods and even with them out I notice there is still the same lag, which was surprising for me. Before the patch update I never had this problem sigh.

  • cocoskin14  Please update your laptop's Nvidia graphics driver.  You can get the newest version here:

    https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/

    Select GeForce, GeForce 900 series (notebooks), GTX 950M, Windows 10, and download the Game Ready Driver.  Run the installer as an admin: right-click the download and select "Run as administrator."  Restart after installing and before trying to play.

    Just to let you know that I did what you suggested and it did not work I'm still experiencing the lag, my game is basically unplayable at this point.  But thank you for your help and response.

  • cocoskin14  Does it happen if you empty out your sims' inventories?  What about if they're living on a different lot?  You don't need to save your progress.

    If neither helps, please test a different (previously unplayed) household in this save, and new sims in a new save, for comparison's sake.  Let me know what you find.
