Weird Mouse Lag
I'm not sure what changed, but for the past month or so, I've had progressively worse mouse lag whenever Sims4 is open. While it's absolutely horrific when in the game window, it's extending to the g...
@A_Fulcrum_Agent Since this is a new Windows install (that's brutal), please run a new dxdiag and attach it to a post.

There may be some info about Bluetooth as well, but if not, I'll ask someone else about it; I'm not great with that kind of thing.
Origin taking up a massive amount of CPU has been reported recently, although the posts are sporadic and there doesn't seem to be a consistent pattern to why it happens, or why it stops. But putting Origin in offline mode, not just disabling Origin in-game but also going offline, may help.

Some updates.
I had to 100% nuke it from orbit (after moving important stuff from the main drive), and wrote 0s to the drive. Repartitioned, formatted, and installed a 100% fresh copy of Windows.
I had a massive adventure getting the mouse to work at all. As it turned out, the Nahimic service that Asus motherboards install at go does incomplete installs. Once I went and got the Nahimic 3 services and installed them, literally everything stopped happening.
Well, except the Bluetooth mouse not connecting to LTE signals. The random stutters and freezes got significantly better. It's playable, especially with Offline mode engaged.
So...that's what caused it, as near as I can figure.
Here's the DXDIAG though, so we can maybe spot what's up, and provide resolution to anyone else who gets this issue.
