Re: Sims 4 is lagging
@juliett006 Are you playing in DirectX 9 or 11 mode, and does it help to switch? Here's how:

Additionally, does this happen in a new save as well, with no mods or custom content? Please test if you haven't already, and use one of the default builds in a base game world. For a complicated lot, the Spencer-Kim-Lewis household in Willow Creek is a useful test; for a less-busy lot, any starter home that a new sim can afford would be fine.
Please also run a dxdiag and attach it to a post, for reference.
