TS4 Stuttering
Hello there. After upgrading my G210 to a 1070, the game stutters like hell at ever given occasion. I tried clean driver install, game repair, game reinstalling, internet disabling, different graph...
Already tried all that. Nothing changes.
@DanSherwind Have you tried playing in a clean user folder yet? Move the entire Sims 4 folder out of Documents\Electronic Arts and onto your desktop, and the game will create a new one the next time you open it. Don't add anything to that folder; just test out a new save.
If that doesn't make a difference, try setting your monitor to run at 60 Hz, and repeat the above. It may be that the monitor's settings don't work well with Sims 4. To access the settings, right-click on the desktop, select Display settings > Advanced display settings > Display adapter properties > List all modes, and choose the 60 Hz mode with otherwise the same properties. Restart your computer after changing the setting and before trying to play.
Did both of that and still same problem.
@DanSherwind Could you post a video of what you're seeing, with the fps counter enabled? I'd like to see exactly what's happening in your game.
If you'd like to experiment a bit, I'm not sure this person has exactly the same issue as you do, but they played with the default values in graphicsrules.sgr and got some interesting results:
Rather than edit the version in the game's program files though, you can make a copy, stick it in Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\ConfigOverride, and mess with it however you want. The game will read the copy in ConfigOverride as long as it's there, but if you start getting crashes or other weird graphics glitches, you can just delete that copy, no harm done.
That also didn't work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXpuuQ6qKlU
