Question about LOD/popin
Is this normal LOD behavior even on maximum graphics?The way the cupboards, stove, bathroom sink etc changes textures so abruptly?Haven't really played in years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dlx...

Vantezzle I do see it now, and I do think it's normal for Sims 4. It's unfortunately also a significant source of bad performance on high-end systems.
What you can do, since your laptop has the hardware to handle it, is increase the distance at which the game switches away from the highest LOD. Please see this post (and the thread more generally) for more information:
Camera movements very choppy since BH patch | EA Forums - 12185589
You can place an edited copy of GraphicsRules.sgr in Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > ConfigOverride so it doesn't revert during a repair or update.
If you do decide to try this, let me know what you think. You can also view your in-game framerates with the fps on cheat; the fps counter will appear in the lower-left corner, over the UI.
I'm getting about 150-187FPS on Ultra graphics in San Myshuno, dropping to 120 in some areas/situations but rarely, I do notice the camera can be a bit choppy sometimes like that thread mentioned, but I was mostly concerned about the LOD as I couldn't remember how the game looked on my old laptop.
If it's normal, I'll probably just accept it, because I'm afraid I'd mess something up while editing the file since some of these values seem very long.
