@SamanthaSunny OK. thanks
Don't really know what's going on with those build mode lags. Just wanted to make sure that's the issue you have.
Bumping this because i'm having these terrible lag issues too. only seems to happen upon going into build/buy mode. everything seems to run find while actually playing. computer is far beyond required specs
amd 3950x
2080ti
32gb 3600mhz ram
game saved on a 2tb m.2 ssd drive
only using a 3 person family
This problem returned severely for me. It's now no longer sometimes, it's all the time. This is getting frustrating for me. I have a PC that exceeds the requirements, I am baffled that the Sims team hasn't mentioned it or has done anything to fix this, but instead is knocking out expansions that only add to the workload.
Kinda disgusting to see that it's just a cash cow. I can't be the only one experiencing this problem.
@JeanVW I think this is one of the many problems that the Sims team "is aware of" but hasn't prioritized. The issues are that not everyone experiences the problem and that there don't seem to be any similarities among those that do. That strongly suggests that the cause is at least largely something on the user end, not within Sims 4, even though an element of the game may be conflicting with something on your computer.
The point is not that the issue shouldn't be investigated, just that it's more complicated to do so. It's simple to reproduce an in-game bug: if feature X isn't working as intended, or using feature Y in certain circumstances causes a crash, it's easy to see and troubleshoot. Short of shipping your computer to headquarters, I'm not sure how you could help the QA team reproduce your issue. Even another system with the same components might not display the same lag.
Anyway, if you'd like, I can flag your posts and see what happens. Please provide a fresh dxdiag and summarize what you're seeing right now: where and when the lag happens, what it looks like, what kind of framerates you get, etc.
Hi again!
so about a month agao i went and updated my graphics card to nvida instead of amd, and so far eveything was great! No more lag issues at all. Untill today. The first time ive played with the new update.
every time i swap from build mode to live mode, im at 20fps. AGAIN.
im so frustrated at this point because i have no idea whats causing the issue.
