build buy lag

There is an incredible build buy lag. Like if I click on something to move it be it a door or item it will freeze the game for a few seconds, allow me to move it and freeze again. This makes building nearly impossible.

I tried deleting the folder from documents, getting rid of mods, starting a new save, repairing the game. The lag appeared to disappear for a little while before coming back out of no where. I also deleted most, like 80 percent of my tray files which was what appeared to fix the issue for a little while.

    What platform are you playing on ?

  • Could you post your Computer's DxDiag?

    - Press Windows-Key + R
    - Type: DxDiag
    - Click on Save all Information.
    - Attach the Text File to your post

  • Does your game run Dx11 ? You can find out on the main menu where the version number is.

      It says DX9. Should I change to DX11 and if so how do I do that?

  • yes, since you have both a chip and a card, the game seems to opt for DX9 instead of DX11.

    Here's instructions how to switch: https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2024/05/sims-4-and-directx/

    Could you check your config.log file to make sure the game uses the card and not the chip.

    Open the file in a text editor and find this part:

    === Graphics device info ===

    Underneath it will tell you if it uses the NVidia card or the Intel chip.

      Thank you for that. I put the dx11 in the launch options box and the game seems to run smoother now.
