Re: Low FPS drop to 14

@Diablolend  Were you running anything else while playing Sims 4, I mean other than Origin and hwinfo?  The log doesn't contain anything particularly concerning, but it does show that your system was using almost 11 GB of physical memory at peak, and almost 16 GB virtual memory.  While that's not a problem in and of itself—your computer can certainly handle it, and Sims 4 data shouldn't be paged out—it does suggest something else going on in the background, since the game and Windows shouldn't be using that much memory on their own.

Please try playing in a clean boot.

When you reboot, go through the Task Manager's background processes list shutting down anything that doesn't absolutely need to be running: some programs don't get disabled in a clean boot.  You don't need to log again if you don't want to, although I'd be happy to look over another hwinfo log if you do post one.  But while you're playing, both right after loading a save and after the game has been running for at least 10 minutes, bring up the Task Manager and check how much RAM Sims 4 is using as well as the system overall.  Let me know what kind of numbers you see.

Please also let me know whether this problem started before or after you installed Windows 11.  I've seen a couple of reports of similarly bad performance on 11, although I've also heard from people for whom the game runs perfectly fine.  One difference may be that your CPU isn't supported, even if (as you're seeing) the OS generally runs fine.  Still, games can be more finicky than most software, and not all games run the same.  But of course it's a good idea to rule out more obvious issues before chalking this one up to an incompatibility with the OS.
