So we have more than 2 years with this bug, that we have the game completly unplayble, and no word from the sims team??????????? at least admiting the problem and that they are working on a fix???? this game is more than 2 months salary with all the packs... at least make it work... i quit playing since i get dizzy with 10 fps whenever i switch to build buy, or even more often in live mode, when the save loads with the lag already...
And also I can see that even the console players have it, so it's not related to our PC.
I have Rtx 3080 and I7, this game should be easily 60 fps. It doesn't have problems running it, but when this lag appears it just goes crazy to 10 fps. Makes you dizzy and cannot play a thing. i think this should be a top priority since it's making players having motion sickness with 10 fps, if you rotate the camera, you want to throw up.
All of these happened just after Get famous release, even James Turner had the same lag on his Let's play on Get famous. It is a very old lag, that is being ignored and unacceptable. Same as LGR Eco lifestyle videos had the same problems. so please stop telling us to change things on our ends, when even consoles players have the lag, it means that the game is broken and the only way to fix it's for the official team to work until they fix it.
If they cannot recreate the bug, it means they are not playing it as a normal player with origin in the background. Or they are just ignorant, and don't care, since it's a costly bug, it's difficult to find why it's happening, better save the cost and just ignore its existence. They said that the sims4 will be for many more years, i am very curious how in the world we will play it? if right now it's unplayble?
@Serraphiell EA truly does not care about its customers anymore, I mean the release of the Wedding pack should be ultimate evidence. The pack was nowhere near ready and the actions did not even work and that was for absolutely everyone so it means they didn’t bother play-testing the pack before release. They ignore the bugs and release more and more packs which continue to make their game more and more laggy but they just don’t give a *.
@Serraphiell I can't reproduce the issue either, and I do run Origin (and other programs) in the background. Given the moderate but not overwhelming number of posts about this issue, it's clear that not everyone is affected. Pair that with the fact that most affected players see the issue in new saves as well, and it's clear that this is at least in large part a system issue.
Some players in this thread saw improvements when closing or uninstalling Razer software or other helpful but not critical programs, if you're interested in troubleshooting further. Otherwise, I don't know what to tell you.
Hmmm, what about the consoles? how is their system problem?
Also I tried on 3 different PCs(2 windows 11, 1 windows 10) and 1 mac. all of them have exactly the same problem. it's impossible to be from the system only. The problem is in their source code that conflicts with the systems. I am a computer engineer myself (I can prove if needed). And I can see clearly, that the game is poorly optimized with the latest packs. The system will not have the game as a priority when the lag happens, and switch back to normal whenever player is pressing the UI Escape menu or something to re-prioritize the processing power. All of these because of the game being poorly optimized lately.
I do not own any Razer software, and all my devices are clean boot. So your "fixes" will do nothing. Pair that with console players, that cannot have any Razer software or any other conflicting software.
And also, I do not lag with any other game except sims4. I do own Rtx 3080, and i7, also rtx 3070 and i7 on others. and latest Mac model. It behaves exactly the same, on all devices.
People are not vocal enough, because they press the Escape button, to fix it, but this should not be a feature!!!!!!!!! For 2 months wages game.
Also, I did a little survey of myself. And asked game changers from YouTube and Twitch in comments. "Fantasia, Pixelade, James Turner, LGR…" and many others, all confirmed they have this lag, and have the temporary fix of Escape button. I can show proofs if needed.
Also it depends on the game style of each simmer. How they play. Maybe that’s one of the reasons some people don’t have the lag. Or many other variables. Still the sims team should prioritize this as first priority! Or it will end up just like sims 3 at the end of its life. Worst is that they said, sims 4 has many more years ahead, but it’s already broken.
