Sims 4 incredibly LOW FPS on an RTX 2060
I've tried everything (repairing, reinstalling, disabling mods and reshade, playing offline etc) nothing seems to help. I used to get 120+ fps but for past 4 months I barely get 15-30 fps. I play other games on the same system with no problems. I've attached my DxDiag file.
@SandySimsLove Have you enabled vertical sync in the game options? Another player reported that doing so caused significant fps drops, so if the option is enabled, try disabling it. Even if you get screen tearing or other unwanted effects, it's a useful test.
And when you say you tried playing offline, do you mean while your entire computer was offline, or just Origin or the EA App? If you haven't tested with your computer offline, please do so now.
If these steps don't help, please try playing in a clean user folder. Move the 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. Don't add anything to it yet; just start a new save and see how it runs. Please test in one of the base game worlds, and on a relatively simple lot. If that's fine, you can experiment with other worlds and/or more complicated lots.
While testing, please don't use Reshade or anything else you normally add to or run alongside Sims 4. It's best to keep things as simple as possible and add back the extras once the game is working properly.
