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...
Perhaps it´s quite late but I hope you can read this reply. I have several months playing The Sims 4 on PS5 and the FPS drops from time to time. Sometimes is triggered when you enter the character customization, build mode, or you change from stores in your house.
Without any research on my part, I made to find that sometimes the FPS was smooth again after I went to the main menu and back to the game, or I press L1+L2+R1+R2 to enter the console mode.
I´ve seen your replies in multiple sims forums and they are always helpful. Hopefully you can reply back with some sort of idea how to solve or mitigate this issue on the PS5.
@hohaug I'm sorry, I have no technical knowledge about consoles. You're better off posting in the console tech forum:

However, from what I've read, this may not be fixable: fps drops when playing on console are quite common and the subject of multiple unresolved bug reports.
