Re: [CoL] Lagging in Sunshine

@Moriaena  There are multiple low fps issues, including one in Build/Buy:

As you can see, there's no good solution for that.  But if you're seeing more widespread low framerates, there's likely something else going on either instead or in addition.  So as a test, please play in a clean user folder: move the entire Sims 4 folder out of Documents\Electronic Arts and onto the desktop and let the game create a new one.  Don't add any content to it; just let me know how a new save runs.

If you see the same low fps in live mode—let's put aside Build/Buy issues for the moment—try playing while your computer is not connected to the internet.  You can sign into Origin and put it in offline mode, then disable wifi and/or disconnect the ethernet cable.  This used to be a common issue, not so much anymore, but as it's an easy test it's worth trying.

If that doesn't help, try playing in a clean boot, again while offline and in a clean user folder.

When you reboot, go through the Task Manager's background processes list and shut down anything that doesn't absolutely need to be running, for example RGB or mouse control software, or MSI Afterburner.  It doesn't really matter if you guess wrong: essential processes should restart themselves immediately, and if you lose some important functionality, you can just reboot your computer to restart the related service.
