Re: How do I reduce sims 4 lag
@KhiaTionna How much lag do you see with no mods or custom content at all? I'm not saying you can't play with extra content, only that this is a useful data point. Please test both a new save, in one of the base game worlds, and your existing save. For the latter, quit without saving to avoid any effects of the missing mods and cc.
Your laptop is also somewhat low-end for Sims 4, especially how the game runs currently. That doesn't mean you can't play, of course, but you might need to make some compromises with graphics settings or cc or how complicated the lots are. But the first question is how the game runs with no added content.
