@indycutie If you have been using the EA app beta you need to unnistall - download the EA app again and install the EA app (yea - don't ask). If you were using Origin you were redirected to the EA app. The sims 3 EA app has been fixed (or so I thought) and now everything is working (well it was last night). Well it was working last night. My store items got nuked - AGAIN! At this point I really don't know what to tell you except I've uninstalled, reinstalled, repaired how many times I lost count. This has been going on for about 3 weeks now and I'm back were I started - wthl a game that doesn't work!

@indycutie We can try to troubleshoot the EA App issues if you want, but as long as you can play through Origin, I'd stick with that instead. Since the App is still getting updated, it's always possible that your particular issue will be resolved by the time you're forced to switch for good.

@indycutie The first question is whether Sims 3 is running slowly in any save, or just this one. Please start a new save for comparison and let me know how it runs.
Please also describe what you mean by lag and slow play in more detail. Some symptoms may seem similar but can have different root causes.

@indycutie Please try playing while your computer is offline. You can sign into Origin and put it in offline mode, then disable wifi and/or disconnect the ethernet cable before pressing Play.
If that doesn't help, I'd like to see a new dxdiag.
