@Lcgreen97 Your new dxdiag shows a few errors from µTorrent, so please shut down any BitTorrent-related processes before launching the game. (Go through the Task Manager's background processes list to make sure you've caught everything.) If that doesn't help, please try playing while your computer is offline again, now that you've set high-performance mode.
If you still get lag, please do some hardware monitoring. Download hwinfo from here:
https://www.hwinfo.com/download/
You don't need to install anything if you don't want to; just choose the Portable version, unzip it, and launch it from Downloads or wherever you want. (If you would like to install, be sure to click the green button, not the orange one.) Because you have a Mac, you may need to apply a fix to get hwinfo to work:

Restart your computer, and don't open any other apps. Launch hwinfo, choose "sensors only," and click the icon that's a sheet of paper with a + sign to start logging. Save the file to your desktop for easy access later.
Wait five minutes, then launch Sims 3 and play for 20 minutes or until it crashes. Click the same button to end logging. Then upload the log to a third-party free filehosting site and link it here. Please leave it in .csv format, or if you use OneDrive to share, please compress it in .zip format instead.

I don't work for EA. I'm just trying to help fellow players with their games.
