Re: Delays in sims' work hours

Ok so I followed the instructions on your link and played the sims and that helped. So what do I do now? Do I leave those things that I disabled in the clean boot instructions disabled?

@blakkrose  Something running alongside the game is causing the lag, and the question is what.  So you can undo the clean boot, restart your computer, open only Origin and Sims 4, and test to see whether the lag is back.  If the game runs normally, great—just don't open the apps you usually run while playing.

If the lag is back, you'll need to experiment with the clean boot process.  Try turning off half the processes (be sure to keep track of which ones) and see how it goes.  If the lag is gone, the problem is one of the apps you disabled, and if the lag is still there, it's one that you didn't disable.  Split the remaining batch in half and test again, narrowing it down until you've found the problem.  Even with a long list, this 50/50 method shouldn't take too long.
