@Liudmila-tian Well, I don't think your laptop can run The Sims 4on Ultra graphics. Try something lower.

@SoyokoAnisoh, yes, it's pretty obvious 🙂 It's a laptop, after all. But I wonder what exactly I should change my settings to. Which parts I can leave on High, and which ones should be changed to Low/completely switched off? I'm looking for a balance between visual presentation and performance.

    @Liudmila-tian Hm for now, for CC and Mods it's best to keep at Medium. Ultra is mostly for gaming PC's that can run the full aesthetic of The Sims 4.

      @SoyokoAnis I'm currently using the following settings:
      Sims - High (because of CC, or I get shiny textures);
      Objects - Medium;
      Lighting - Medium;
      Reflections - Medium;
      Visual Effects - Low/Medium (change it from time to time);
      Edge Smoothing - Medium;
      3D Scene Resolution - Medium;
      View Distance - this is the problematic parts: I have recently changed it to low to increase FPS, but it definitely affected the visual part, so I'm not sure I should leave it this way;
      Uncompressed Sim Textures - On
      Post-processing Effects - On
      Laptop Mode - Off (again because of CCs)

      Are these good enough? Or is something too high/too low?
