Re: Unplayable lag and freezing

@rangoon1988  Please repair the game in Origin: open your game library, right-click on the Sims 4 icon, and select Repair.  If that doesn't help, disable Game Mode and Game Bar.  They each have a category in Windows Settings > Gaming.

If that doesn't help either, please move your entire Sims 4 user data folder out of Documents\Electronic Arts and onto your desktop.  When you launch the game, a clean folder will spawn with no content.  Don't add anything to this folder yet; just see whether you get the same lag in a new save.  Let me know either way.

    @puzzlezaddict Repairing did not work and neither did disbling game mode. However after moving my data file, it did seem to be functioning as normal, even when interacting with computers - no lag, no freeze - absolutely fine!
