Thanks for that. Unfortunately I've already tried changing the CPU turbo setting and it has made no difference. Hopefully this will be addressed in a patch as EA have already said they intend to continue expanding Sims 4 instead of moving onto a Sims 5, meaning the game is going to have to be playable on newer processors as they come out.
