Re: How to allocate more ram to sims 4?

@Fernix93  Does hitting ESC help, or going to Manage Worlds?  Do you notice any patterns to when the lag shows up?  For example, you might be zoomed out, or one of your sims might be wearing a particular outfit.  Sometimes these issues are difficult to track down, unfortunately.

    Going to manage world helps, since the lag only occurs when I'm playing with a household. 

  • @Fernix93  Right, I meant does it help to exit to Manage Worlds and then go back to your household, as in, does that function as some sort of reset?  It does for some people, as does clicking ESC.

  • @Fernix93  I don't know either, and I'm not sure there's much else you can do.  The game itself is cranky and not optimized for high-end systems, unfortunately.  If you haven't tried switching to DirectX 11, it's worth doing so now.  It helps performance for some users, makes it worse for others, and appears to make no difference for many.  To switch, add the -dx11 command line argument in the EA App, under Sims 4 > Manage > View properties.
