@zelneciaaaa Please move your entire Sims 4 folder out of Documents > Electronic Arts and onto your desktop. When you launch the game, a clean folder will spawn with no content. (Your saves and other content will be intact in the folder you've moved but temporarily not read by the game.) Don't add anything to the new folder yet; just start a new save and see whether it lags.
YES IT STILL LAGS
@zelneciaaaa Please post a new dxdiag so I can see if there are any newer errors than previously.
@zelneciaaaa Your dxdiag has a couple new errors likely related to the graphics driver, so those weren't simply a product of the lack of free space. Lenovo offers a newer driver for your laptop here:
It's the Intel driver listed for Windows 11 and dated September 7. Even though you have Windows 10, you should still be able to use this driver: Microsoft lists it as being compatible with Windows 10 builds going back to spring 2020, and yours is newer than that. However, it's possible the installer will throw an error, in which case just stop there.
The Windows 10 driver provided by Lenovo is the one you already have installed, so you'd need to clean-uninstall it first before reinstalling. Here are instructions:
So, to be extra careful, do this: download both the Windows 11 (September 7) and Windows 10 (January 14) drivers, and DDU from the link above. Try to install the Windows 11 driver. If you get an error, or if you see any issues after the install, use DDU to clean uninstall the current driver and reinstall the older Windows 10 driver instead. Restart your computer after installing any driver and before trying to play.
