I know my PC is old and is the cause for some of my lag, but it has definitely become worse in the last few weeks. I can instruct my sim to do something, and it takes them approximately a full sim hour, sometimes up to 2 hours to actually move the item from their queue to the active action spot and for them to start doing it. its driving me batty. 

Have the same issue. It seems to be for longer plays, like a save file that’s been played for months. I used to be able to get it back to normal by deleting the EA folder, launching the game so a new folders spawn and moving my saves to the new folder…that doesn’t work anymore. Literally have to quit playing after a few hours and relaunch the game. It’s extremely annoying. 

I'm having the same issue now. I thought it might be related to Enchanted by Nature, but it could be anything really.

Anyone here who have the same problem? Everytime I do open the game it is lagging so much. It is like my screen is frozen and my „family“ is moving slow. I tried everything like reinstall, closing the game and starting again. But it is always the same problem again and again.

Hello everyone, so I been trying to start a forever save or a long save with townies & my own townies personalized by me & whenever I either place houses or sims in my world or dive deeper in my game play , my game starts to act up & buggy.. I contacted support there’s not really a fix besides limiting your game play or what you save to your gallery or what you place in your world..  I’m reaching out to see if anyone knows any fixes to this issue besides limitation to everything above.. sims 4 is one of my favorite games ever & I really wish I can play it more.

also I noticed alot of games I play are optimized for the new gens it states x/s on the icon of the game, I know you EA gave updates to the games performance for console but that brings to my next topic is maybe update the game to next gen? It may help a lot of our issues with loading & lag.. I really hope this can get fixed or at least worked on. Happy Simming everyone!💚

I have the same issue with my laptop, I realised that when the battery gets low, the game starts lagging so much, that I can not keep playing

Same, i play on PS4

It used to do the trick for me, but not anymore. After some time, the lag just reaches an unplayable point even with the mod.

Same issue but on Xbox. 

I had this issue since growing together. I ended up getting Simulation Lag Fix mod
