@Bluebellflora Yes. But once I deleted the options folder I removed my mods folder started the game and it’s still laggy in CAS. I played with the setting as suggested. Before the update I had everything set to high with exception of edge smoothing this was set to medium. When I removed the options folder and played with the settings. I notice the lag when I zoom out in CAS to change clothing etc. when I’m zoomed in for face and head details it’s unnoticeable. When I zoom out the “animation” of the sim is very slow in addition to the voice not in sync with the sim. But when I zoom it it’s fine. I’ve ran the game with my settings that I had before the update and I haven’t noticed any lag but I’ve only done a few tasks like watch tv, mix drinks, walk around and so far I haven’t Noticed lag. Only in CAS. I’m at a dental conference for most of the day but when I get to my hotel room I’ll delete the options folder again and the local thumb cache as well and see if that works.

Hi, just adding my voice to the chorus. Experiencing major lag in CAS that improves somewhat with zoom. Rotate keys especially are skippy/stuttery. Things I have tried: trashing options.ini, moving mods folder out, trashing localthumbcashe.package, playing on lower settings.

Thank you. <3

Thank you for all that you do - I've been helped many times by your insight over the years.
Just now, I noticed the game is pretty responsive when clicking through outfits, using back/forward, the dice, clicking the options button the top right. It's really more that the sim's movement is lagging. Not really sure what the right word is. Like trying to stream a video with a bad connection.
I'll be around if there's anything I can help you with.
Edit: both male and female, and I have all the expansions.

Thanks Here's a couple of things to try:

@Bluebellflora I would agree with the description @twin-reverb-sims provided. It’s like the animation is in slow motion. The audio of the sim doesn’t match the movement of that makes sense. Like when the sims does random Simlish during CAS is off. Even my CAS screen will load slowly at first. Like the randomizer loads slowly and the zoom in and out is slow. But once I zoom in it seems normal.

No change with disabling Origin/going offline, but I'm giving everything a fresh install now to see if that makes any difference.

2018 MacBook Pro player, and I'm also experiencing the same game lag post update. Tried the recommended fixes, and none of them make a difference. I have the lag both in game and in CAS.

@Bluebellflora Ive deleted the recommended folders, played offline, tried the game no change. I then deleted the folders again, took out my mods folder no change, played offline no change. Lastly I took out my entire sims 4 folder and played offline and no change.
