Amen! Unbelievable they try and blame you and your PC as the problem. Really?!?

 

but your pc, my pc was JUST FINE prior. 

I guess logic doesn’t operate within EA and zero accountability. Don’t even get the option like with previous games to reinstall a previous patch. 

 

Edit to include: I will Be posting my dx file today. And if it gets deleted by you guys then I demand a refund for the game. This customer service is NOT OK. 

Lying and saying people are refusing to post, lying to customers is not ok. YOU guys messed up our games and are trying to pass blame on systems that worked perfectly the day before patch. 

 

If my new gaming PC has same issue today when I pick it up, I will be angry. Because no way in hell would a cpu Ryzen 3, gigabyte motherboard, fancy ram not be able to run SIMS 4 like a dream.

Update: I have noticed that the post in question i thought disappeared has popped up again later. Make sure you check back periodically to see if it is still there. Might just be a glitch in the interface where it disappears and reappears again.

The minimum requirements for the base game has not changed. However recent expansion packs (Cats & Dogs and later) do have a higher minimum requirement.

Ok so in theory if i get rid of the later expansion packs (which I don't use that much of anyway) it should work again?

Been having the same issues. This has all occurred since the patch earlier this week. Done all the normal troubleshooting including repairing the game. Even reinstalled everything and still getting extreme lag and generally just running slow. That's on top of the random "The Sims 4 is not responding" issue that occurs mainly on the initial loading screen and occasionally randomly while in-game.  Prior to the patch, I had no issues.

@jeswainston65 Your computer should be able to run the game on low settings. However your graphics driver is several years old. Visit amd.com to upgrade them.

 

@pwrhngry432 Unfortunately there are no supported way to uninstall the packs. You can try disabling them and see if that works. https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2017/03/disable-single-packs/

I will attempt to do this however I don't see this as a potential solution since I'm assuming the pack is still technically installed, you just can't access the content. I'll add it to the list of things I wish EA would fix about this game. Also, on the off chance that I DO get a computer that will meet these minimum requirements, would this command be set on just the computer i use it on, or will it carry over on my origin account? If so I'd also like to know how to reenable those packs.

 

However, the more and more replies I'm seeing on this thread, I'm realizing that I don't seem to think the expansion packs really made the difference here, since I was playing with all of them installed with no issues. Clearly something has changed with this new patch, since myself and many others are having these issues POST PATCH and not prior. I would suggest that they either severely reconsider this patch and risk alienating a lot of players such as myself or at the very least, reevalute the impact of this patch on the base games minimum requirements and openly announce these changes. At least that way we know what we're getting into with these patches. We also should have the option of opting out of these patches. I'm fully aware that means that we won't be able to play new content as it comes out, but at the very least we'd still be able to play the base game and the packs we already own without worry of being kicked from playing a game we've already sunk money into, and also giving us time to save money for new computers/parts.
