@Gummingtons That's really helpful information, thanks. I looked around and saw some complaints about the Nvidia sound driver causing a bit of latency in other programs, although I haven't heard about it in Sims 4. But now I'll know to look for it.
@JeanVW Would you try disabling the Nvidia sound driver as @Gummingtons did? You have what is almost certainly the same version, since the two of you have the same graphics driver, and the audio driver installs as part of that package.
@MadPeachyTV If you have an Nvidia graphics card, it's worth disabling the audio driver as well, at least long enough to test. Please also run a dxdiag and attach it to a post. Whether this works for you or not, it would be good to compare information.

@puzzlezaddict I have the DxDiag here for you 🙂
@MadPeachyTV Thanks for the dxdiag, and yeah, you're probably not going to be helped by disabling the audio driver. But you might as well try, since you also have both a driver from AMD and one from Realtek. If that doesn't help, try playing in a clean boot:

Let me know whether it helps.
@puzzlezaddict i will do that and let you know if anything helps.
Thanks again 🙂
@puzzlezaddict So I disabled the audio drivers and the problem seemed to persist after around 10 mins. Then I went and played with a clean boot, Disabled all but windows programs, no problems at first, but after around an hour or so, the lag returned as I went into build mode. Again, when i opened the"..." menu, the lag stopped.
Not to sure what to do next.
@MadPeachyTV Thanks for letting me know. It's interesting that the clean boot would help for a while but not permanently. I need to get a second opinion on this; I'll get back to you when I have more ideas, or someone else who knows more than I do will get back to you.
