Re: Weird lag in build/buy mode and sometimes in Live Mode too
@JeanVW How often does this happen? Are there any patterns, for example that the same world(s) are affected, or only households with a high number of sims, or when you use a certain cheat? Did this start happening before or after the June 3 patch? Can you reproduce this reliably?
If you can reproduce, it would be useful to see whether it happens in a completely vanilla game. Please test in a base game world (Willow Creek, Oasis Springs, Newcrest) in a clean folder. Move your entire Sims 4 user data folder out of Documents\Electronic Arts and onto your desktop, and when you launch the game, a clean folder will spawn with no content. Don't add anything to it yet; just start a new save and see whether the error reappears. Let me know either way.
If you can't reproduce, that's fine, just tell me if there's a pattern to when it happens, even though it's sporadic. I'd also like to see a dxdiag, in case anything jumps out.

When you say you "reinstalled your PC," do you mean that you reinstalled Windows, or reset the PC to factory settings, or something else? There are a lot of different kinds of resets, and they're all a bit different in what they accomplish.
