Re: Sims 4 overheating
I have a 2022 laptop, with 16gb ram, and enough storage to last me years; sims 4 made my laptop almost exhale flames. I literally bought it a week ago, I don't understand why it's overheating; I replaced my old laptop because of this?? I used laptop mode, and lowest graphical settings, same thing. No mods, either. This NEEDS to be fixed ☹️
@0_Chmmz_0 When you lower the graphics settings of a game, your computer's hardware just runs that game at a higher fps, at least up to a point. So you're not necessarily lowering the overall workload by much.
At any rate, please run a dxdiag and attach it to a post so I can see the laptop's hardware and drivers.

And make sure you're not blocking the air vents while you play. That means playing on a hard flat surface, like a desk, rather than with the laptop resting on a blanket.
