Sims 4 Massive FPS Drops
I have had issues with the game randomly dropping to 15-20 fps for extended periods of time, sometimes nearly 30 minutes which makes playing difficult. I have lowered resolution and graphics settings...

@puzzlezaddict I changed the sync option to fast but I didn't see an option for adaptive. Maybe because my monitor isn't G-sync compatible? It is Adaptive Sync/AMD FreeSync compatible though but given that I no longer have any AMD products in my computer, I'm unsure if they are helpful or even usable with my current build. I used this monitor on my old computer build which had an AMD GPU and CPU.
@Gameshark144 Are you looking for options within your monitor settings or within the Nvidia Control Panel? You don't need to use any of the monitor's vertical sync settings. Last I checked, Adaptive was one of the available v-sync settings in the Control Panel, but it's always possible the newest Nvidia driver doesn't have it.
Anyway, how did the game perform with v-sync on Fast? If you saw the same fps drops, try playing while your computer is offline. You can sign into Origin and put it in offline mode, then disable wifi and/or disconnect the ethernet cable before launching the game.
@puzzlezaddict I was looking within Nvidia Control Panel. The options I had for Vertical Sync were On, Off, Fast, and Use the 3D application setting. There was an update to the Nvidia drivers only a few days ago.
The game seems to run mostly the same. I will be playing for about 20 or so minutes fine at 60 before the drop occurs and lingers. It will clear up on its own sometimes or it remains until I close the game and wait for the drop to occur again. I have also tried to play in offline mode and from what I had noticed, it does seem to delay the drop or at the very least it felt like it did but the drop does still occur within an hour of playtime.
The attached image is what I am seeing within Nvidia Control Panel for Vertical Sync options.
