Hi everyone,
Since the last update ("Performance updates and bug fixes!"), I’ve noticed that the game’s graphic performance has actually gotten worse. It no longer feels smooth or fluid — instead, it constantly runs with little micro-stutters. They’re not huge freezes, more like small hitching, but it makes the game feel off compared to before the patch.
I’ve tried everything I can think of: updated drivers, reinstalled them, tested with V-Sync on and off, repaired the game, fully reinstalled the game, even started a brand new save with zero mods (completely emptied the Sims 4 folder in Documents, including screenshots, etc). The issue is always the same.
Before this update, the game ran perfectly on my RTX 5070, and even back when I was using a 4060 it was smooth. Now, with the 5070, I’m seeing this constant stuttering despite the framerate being stable (around 80 fps). It’s not a low framerate issue, it’s just not smooth anymore.
Has anyone else experienced this since the update?
I have installed some new Windows 11 stuff and it threw my Nvidia GPU for a loop and erased my settings there so suddenly the screen was tearing and it was a mess. It's still not great, I'll try DX9 again to see if that helps. They're 'updating' and 'improving ' the game but yeah it seems like they're just making it worse. Just after B&H it was pretty okay, but now it's becoming more and more sluggish. I don't even have the new pack. Soon they'll probably remove the DX9 option and we will all be in trouble though.
