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...
This has been going on ever since Eco Lifestyle 3 years ago. A modder had a fix for this by resetting something in the UI, because they have a theory this is due to the game constantly trying to find something in the UI but never being able to, which makes the game go insane. I have an RTX-compatible monitor. Neither did the vsync help nor did the fps drops help. It's all to do with the actual game. When this is getting fixed, nobody knows. Truly sucks.
However, I have noticed many times the lag is not as frequent when the localthumbcache file has all thumbnails generated (from foods, outfits, friendship panel images, even the calendar, and the household management), and you restart the game it does seem to help. Probably unrelated but who knows, maybe it'll help the QA team, seeing as they tried to fix it once but just made it happen all the time, not just when switching to build mode.
Do you happen to know what mod it was or is it still up?
thepancake1 and MizoreYukii removed the mod and said the problem was fixed. They were obviously mistaken lol.
