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.
I have the same issue.
Unchecking VSYNC option in game settings works, however, the game completely ignores any setting I choose in my NVIDIA Control Panel. Thus FPS is constantly around 100 and as my monitor only supports 60 - massive tearing constantly occurs.
Any solutions?
@rostsit This is not uncommon if you have a laptop (or an all-in-one desktop) with dual GPUs: the Nvidia Control Panel setting doesn't actually affect the framerates. You'd instead need to use a third-party tool like Rivatuner Statistics Server to manually impose an fps limit. I don't know whether this would help with the screen tearing, but it's easy to try.
It should also be noted that vertical sync doesn't work in windowed mode regardless of the hardware configuration.
Never used windowed mode for any game.
I have Rivatuner Statistics Server installed, haven't tried to use it for FPS limit. I will, thanks.
Ok, so I've tested the Rivatuner:
1. FPS is shown to be limited. FPS drops occurs, but only briefly - I guess this is normal.
2. Despite FPS is "limited" - tearing is still there! I guess Rivatuner limitation method is not supported by the game engine ☹️
