Is in both games. I've tested with differnt hardwares (my old pc, that I don't owe anymore, and my actual pc ) and the problem was always there.
I don't play TS3 anymore (I don't have it even installed) since TS4 was released because I didn't even played for months because of the large loading screens and the performance issues :S

Maybe is a problem with Nvidia and its drivers, but this issue was present also in ts3 so is not new.

    Hi 

    First -> Sims 4 - FPS DROPS (and LAG) (lag and fps drops in : 0:08-0:10, 0:19-0:22, 0:22-0:24, and so on, practically the entire video 😕mileyvery-happy🙂

    Second -> Sims 4 - Lag GONE - Vsync ON

    Third -> Sims 4 - Lag GONE - Vsync OFF

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Nvidia HD Audio drivers were causing the FPS drops in the games with my card, a GTX 770.

    What I did? Following this advice
    http://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/2iyerx/psa_to_all_nvidia_gtx_770_owners_who_are_having/

    I did a clean uninstall of Nvidia drivers using this: http://www.wagnardmobile.com/DDU/
    and then only installed:
    - Graphic Driver,
    - PhysX driver and
    - GForce Experience.

    I didn't install 3D, Miracast drivers and the other things because I don't use them.

    As windows update automatically installed HD Audio Driver again I:
    - Installed the motherboard HD audio drivers, the most updated version from realtek website (http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/)
    - Disabled Nvidia HD Audio drivers from Control Panel ► Device Manager ► Sound, video and Game controllers section.

    Example: DRIVERS DISABLED (RED) AND INSTALLED/UPDATED (GREEN) ►http://s29.postimg.org/s8jqnbmp3/62_E.png

    Reboot and done.

    NOTE: This procedure solved all the problems with FPS drops I had not only in TS4 but also in other games like AC Unity where, before doing this I fps drops and lag and the game run at max 40fps, and after this lag is gone,most of the fps drops are gone too and game runs at 55-60fps.
