CASt is super slow

I'm trying to be a better decorator for my families new house and to me that means using CASt on EVERYTHING since I usually don't.
However it always is super slow. When I try and drag the colors on to objects it barely moves and often times if I release my click too soon I end up coloring the wall or floor because it never makes it to the object. It's that slow.
I guess the alternative would be to save each swatch instead of trying to drag the pannel to objects meant to be the same, but I feel that'd take just as long to do.
And that is just avoiding the issue of it being slow instead of fixing it.
My game works A-okay otherwise. Nothing else is slow except for CASt and only the buy/build CASt not the one in CAS. I don't have any custom patterns or anything I can think that would be slowing it down.
It's always been this way for as long as I can remember, which is why I very rarely use it. I almost always just go with object presets.
But I really want to fix it and stop it from being so slow.

An integrated card is not likely to push out enough frames to be a concern. For dedicated cards, vertical sync can be turned on through the video cards control panel. The goal is to cap frame rate at your screens refresh rate. Double check what yours is....
- Windows search Display Settings
- Advanced Display Settings
- Display adapter properties
- Click the Monitor tab
You should see your monitors refresh rate.Instructions for Nvidia Control Panel already installed on your computer if you have a Nvidia graphics card.
This method requires fullscreen mode in order to work.
If you already tried control panel and it didn't work, try Nvidia Inspector.
Look for the small tool icon or green symbol next to Driver Version. Click to launch Nvidia Profile Inspector.
Select Profiles at the top and scroll through the long list to find Sims 3.
Under Sync and Refresh, select Vertical Sync > Force On
(Not pictured, also listed under Sync and Refresh) Frame Rate Limiter > 60 fps *This number should reflect your own refresh rate.
Apply Changes top right corner.
For AMD, an AMD user may be able to help.
I know the issue you're talking about. I haven't experienced this in a very long time. I'm not sure if it has to do with hardware but it's possible that it's related. When I used to have this issue, I was playing on a low-end computer. It could also very well be FPS too high like Trey said. Dedicated graphics cards with enough power will push out extra frames beyond what your monitor can display. This causes problems and it is recommended to have v-sync on for those with dedicated cards when playing this game.

I'm away for my birthday atm so it'll be a day or so before I can check my fps.
I don't though, I only have the ones the game comes with. I don't have any custom ones or any that I've made. So unless the game ones are too many that can't be it.
