Sims 4 is locked at 60 fps
Recently upgraded gpu to a 4070 ti super, game is running at 1440p, v-sync is off in game and in nvidia control panel, I use mods but they have never caused any problems. Thanks for help.

@Vokulak What else are you running while you play? There are plenty of third-party tools that offer a vertical sync option, or an fps limiter. If you have anything that you think might be interfering, close it before opening Sims 4.
Additionally, do you have a G-Sync or FreeSync monitor, and is it possible the monitor is imposing the limit and you're seeing that result?
If that doesn't help, please try playing in a clean boot:
The one service to leave enabled is the EABackgroundService, which the EA App needs in order to run. Disable the rest as described.
When you reboot your computer, go through the Task Manager's background processes list shutting down any service that doesn't absolutely need to be running, for example anything from MSI Afterburner to RGB software might still be enabled. If you accidentally kill a critical process and it doesn't restart on its own, just reboot your computer again.
Don't open anything other than Sims 4 and the EA App while testing, not even a browser window. If unlocks your fps, you can start selectively reenabling services until you find the culprit.
I have g-sync compatible monitor, but it's turned off. I also did a clean boot and I still have 60 fps cap.
@Vokulak Please test without mods and without any third-party content at all. I haven't specifically heard of a mod or Sims 4-specific utility imposing an fps cap, but it's an easy test.
Please also let me know where you're seeing the 60 fps limit, and what the game thinks its framerates are. For the latter, bring up the cheats console (ctrl-shift-C) and enter fps on , and you'll see the fps counter in the lower-left corner, over the user interface.
For reference, please run a dxdiag and attach it to a post as well.

The first thing I did was to play without mods, but it didn't help. I used the "fps on" command to check fps.
