Re: Slow loading and lags

@kreatoraMy apologies, I'm not meaning to be such a pain.
Just did another factory reset and there is still major lag and long loading screens, it did not fix it as before.

    The basic problem is a bit to weak the graphics card that "borrows" memory from the system. It has 32MB dedicated memory. Requirements The Sims4 for the card is 128 MB of dedicated memory
    I can suggest that you switch off all running programs in the background that you do not need during the game. In the first place turn off graphical programs and reduce the graphics requirements in the game options.
    It doesn't help also that you have really old graphics card drivers - 8/27/2015. You need to download new drivers and install them

    You also have a problem with either the Apple iTunes application or with your Net framework - itw_scrobbler.dll file is missing or corrupted. If a simple computer restart will not remove this error the best way to fix it is to reinstall this application
    I don't know how it affects the game, but if you want to check whether your net framework has no errors here is the Windows tool for it. (I wouldn't want to use this Apple application on Windows but this is just my private opinion.)

    One more question. Do you use CC and mods? And if so, after the reset of the game, did you put your old mods or CC back into the game?
  • @kreatora Hi sorry about the delayed reply, work took over. No I don't use any CC or mods.
    Also what is Net framework? Once again, thanks!

    .NET Framework, in short .NET - a development platform developed by Microsoft, including a runtime environment and class libraries that provide standard functionality for applications. But it isn't your basic problem.
    Your basic problem is too weak graphics card and no too much RAM memory when your card is using it too.
    I'm sorry to say, but your computer does not meet the game requirements anymore.

    You can try the lowest graphics setting in the game option if you will able open the game menu. It may work because your computer is not much below these requirements, but you will never know when it will stop working again.
