Game slow to respond
I play with no mods or cc. I have all the packs. I play on a 2023 ASUS Tuff gaming laptop with nothing on it but the Sims 4. For some reason my game is acting up. First I couldn’t take things out of the geology table and other storages. So I deleted the onlinethumbnailcache folder. Cleared EA app cache and repaired the game. But still had the problem. I uninstalled and reinstalled both game and EA app. Still had the problem. So I completely uninstalled and deleted everything and reinstalled both. I deleted my saves but kept my tray file which I add to the Sims 4 folder after launching the game fresh. This worked for a while but then it started again with the gemology table being a problem. Now the game is supper slow to respond if it responds at all when I click on a Sim to interact. I don’t really have any screenshots to show you because you can’t see the problem in screenshots. My PC and drivers are all up to date.
Gameplay issue
I've run into an issue where I can't directly click on most things. I can't click the scroll bar unless it's in a specific spot when creating a sim in CAS. I have to move my cursor to the side entirely just to click it. I'm also unable to play at all in game mode, the game lags extremely, and I'm unable to click and drag the screen or click on most of the functions. I cleared my cache, deleted all my mods. The game is up to date. I am playing the game under EA, on my HP Windows laptop.
Time/Sim freezes while environment still moves
This is a very specific bug symptom so please only post here if you see all of the below in your game. There are many similar issues, so this should be kept to this issue only. This can either be an extreme lag or a total freeze. Symptoms in the game Time stand still although there can be a delay where time moves for a but when part of UI is frozen You can't click on anything Sims move but do interactions endlessly Environment moves If you have multiple household members, you can't switch between them. Going to the map in this state can lead to endless loading You can still switch to build mode but only delete one item. Not all households are affected. Unsure what causes it. Unsure/More info needed It start happening at a specific time Computer starts to use up a lot of the resources Not this issue Sims don't respond to commands, standing around doing nothing
Slow Performance
I know laptops aren't the best to play on but I've been playing on my laptop for a few years, with all the added expansion packs my game is super slow and laggy. I disabled a few that I don't really use but not sure what else to do. I added my dxdiag to help....any input would be great!

Micro Stutters Despite Stable FPS (Patch 1.117.221)
Ever since the last update (which was supposed to improve performance), I’ve been experiencing micro stutters whenever I move the camera around in-game. The FPS counter shows a stable 60 FPS, but the camera movement isn’t smooth anymore. For reference, I’m running the game on an AMD RX 7700 XT. Before the update, the game felt smoother at the same settings. Is anyone else running into this issue? Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title
Never Ending Loading Screen, Crashes, and Lag
My Sims game has been unplayable for months now. Everytime I load the game I am stuck on the loading screen forever. If it loads, whenever I start my current save it either will crash or remain stuck in the loading screen. I started new save and the lag in cas was unbearable. I have deleted all of my cc, I have no mods, I have repaired my game many times, I have deleted my caches, cleared up space on my laptop, restarted my computer and nothing has been working.
