i'm having the same problem but worse and mostly in live mode, as in your video i have lag when moving around and when i attempt to switch sims. also when i try to get my sims to do actions (eg, cooking, sleeping) it takes ages to load up the different options and usually freezes in game. i have a small amount of cc in my game but not much compared to people with a lot of cc and their game seems to work fine. if anyone could help me this would be appreciated. thank you.

@abc1381541026 Have you tried this suggestion: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-PC/Weird-lag-in-build-buy-mode-and-sometimes-in-Live-Mode...

I have been having recent issues with my game lagging when I switch to build mode and back to live mode. Another issue I have is when I am trying to travel inviting others with me it is only letting me click on one sim in my friends list. PLease fix this bug.

@JeanVW I'm not sure this approach would be any benefit to @abc1381541026, who has an HP laptop that may block the installation of any non-HP-approved drivers. You can see a dxdiag on the laptop here:
I'm about to answer there, but the errors in the dxdiag are mostly system issues that need to be addressed.

I dont know if having an HP laptop affects the way LAN drivers are installed, I'm merely trying to find a solution.

I'm having the same issue lots of people here are having, everything ok during live mode, constant 60fps on ultra settings, then as soon as I go into build mode it drops to about 10fps. When I go back to live mode if I click on the 3 dots to open the menu it goes back to 60fps and continues playing fine.

@Helithe You could try step 5 here:
It seems to work for some people who have the same fps drop you've described.

I'm having the same problem. I took out my mods, repaired my game, made sure I have a strong internet connection, cache and cookies were cleared when the Patch launched on June 4th, and I only use this laptop for minimal internet browsing (Google, Facebook, Sims Forums) and Sims 4 so I have no other impeding software. I have all the packs and I use a PC that meets all of the required and recommended specs.
I click on a sim for their menu, lag
Click another sim, lag
Laptop, lag
The ground, lag
It's becoming annoying, I feel like I can't play my game because I'm constantly waiting for it to load.
