Sims 4 Stutters while Offline, but plays just fine while Online

Hi there. I don't have internet at home.  I go to my sister's and use her wifi about twice a month to check for updates on steam and origin, and to let my computer and drivers update if need be. ...

It stutters from the start of the game. I can't even create a sim anymore because of the stuttering. It like freezes every second. Makes the game unplayable. But It plays so smoothly when i have an internet connection.

I would just try to using my cell phone as a hot spot, but my phone isn't set up for It. I even tried using a free hot spot app but It wouldnt work on my phone.

I plan to get internet within the next few months but i don't want to wait till then.


It may be a background program then, if it works just fine offline for you. I have free avg antivirus software. Maybe i need to try shutting it down while i play or something? I just don't know whay background processes are safe to shut down while i play?

AVG is safe to close when you're playing The Sims offline. 

Viruses usually come from the internet, and when you don't have any it's pretty hard to get one.

Just close as much as you can, see if that helps any.
