    RavenDreams  This dxdiag is readable, not sure what happened to the first one.  I have a few suggestions you can try in any order, although I'll list them in the order I'd use if it were my system.

    Try uninstalling Razer's Game Manager Service, and if that doesn't help, any other Razer apps you have.

    Try playing in windowed mode.

    Unplug your Sony TV, with the computer turned off, and try playing with only the second monitor.

    Try setting your user DPI scaling to 96 (100%) rather than its current 144 (150%).  Here's how:

    Test with your antivirus completely disabled.  As long as you don't do anything else at the same time, your computer should be safe.

    If one of these works but you don't like the results, let me know anyway and we can try to work around the problem.

Here is the DxDiag again, hopefully it works this time.

As for clean boots, ya went though a couple.  I did a full uninstall/reinstall/reboot/got error of missing package file for Ep04/repair/reboot/no cc no mods/nothing but clean install of all base game stuff with anything I bought, fresh save fresh sims that I knew that I had that were clean from back in cottage living/ran reasonably tell the welcome wagon showed up then started to stutter and slow down catch up/ tried laptop mode and medium graphic settings.  

I know its something localized with my system, partners doesn't have the issue.  Fully clean programs running other than antivirus (which they have the same version of) No browsers, no other programs other than the EA launcher. 

I'm kind of confused to what I might of missed.  The game isn't fully unplayable, just annoying, seems to happen the longer I've been playing too, as it they become a bit more frequent and stutter more, but its not unplayable, just annoying.
