Re: Sims 4 Lagging after installing new packs
@144a367a9ee60dec Adding those packs shouldn't grind your game to a halt, especially given your hardware. What kind of fps are you seeing? You can see it by bringing up the cheats console (crtl-shift-C) and entering "fps on" without quotes. A number will appear in the lower left corner of your screen, over part of the UI.
If you want to see whether the packs you added are in fact a problem, you can temporarily disable them from loading. Here's how:

I doubt that's the issue though. What's more obvious is that your C, D, and E drives all have around 10 GB free, which is often not enough, especially when you consider the effects of temp files, both from Windows and Sims 4. Which drive is Sims 4 installed on? Where is your Documents directory? Can you free up more space, at least on C? 20 GB free on the Windows drive is a good goal; any lower than that, and it could easily be the problem, or at least contributing to the problem.
If this doesn't help, please try playing in a clean user data folder. Rename or move the existing Sims 4 folder in Documents\Electronic Arts, and the game will spawn a new one the next time you launch it. (If this folder is large, don't move it to a drive that's already low on space.) Don't add anything to the new folder yet; just start a new save and see whether it lags. Let me know either way.
