weird lag when placing wallpaper?

adamzaid · June 2018

ok so ever since i installed seasons (which btw is ALOT OF FUN) my game lags when i place wallpaper but the rest of the game is perfectly smooth for some reason its just weird and theres been weird crashes out of no where too!

I have the lag too, as do quite a few other people. I've seen it mentioned on Twitter and YouTube vids. Hopefully there's going to be a fix in the next patch...it makes building take nearly twice as long when the wallpaper and flooring lags.

Yeah I'm having this too. I hope it gets fixed soon! :(

Make sure to press Me too on that post on the AHQ EA site.

ahoychristie · June 2018

Yesss I have this too. With so many bugs, I don't know why I thought it was only me experiencing this but hadn't seen anyone else mention it til now. Ughhhh need some bugspray stat. They must be so stressed trying to fix all of it hahaha.

The wallpaper thing has been the main bug for me so far though. Thankkk.

I don't have seasons yet which is why I am waiting for the bugs to be fixed.

But you think the game developers would kind of test this sort of stuff before releasing a game?

mock68 · June 2018

Me too and it is so annoying and is spoiling my building fun..

You would think so and that they would check for any glitches before releasing anything..

I think this glitch came with the patch in preparation of the Sims 4 Seasons. Simsguru Nick has addressed certain bugs/glitches on his twitter: https://mobile.twitter.com/SimGuruNick/status/1009198487152390144

I got it too. Didn't realize it was a bug until I saw this.

Sigzy05 · June 2018

Yes I have this too!

PixelPrincezz · June 2018

@adamzaid Yes I have this exact same issue and @rosemow gave me a link where we can address this issue; you all should go here:

I hope they patch the game up soon, is impossible to build like that

Marjia · June 2018

Me too. Noticed it about a week before expansion.

MasonGamer · June 2018

It was the last update, not the Expansion. yeah it's most of build mode for me, placing a frieze, wall paper.

Madachan88 · June 2018

Comon Bug after the patch. Me too. Sometimes it's wallpaper, some times floortiles and sometimes fences. No on every Lot. But really annoying when I want too build.

simlover5521 · June 2018

I've been getting this with wallpaper and floor tiles since the patch. It's quite annoying to be honest.

soko37 · June 2018

I started getting this with the 19th patch. Not seasons.

Domagojpanic · June 2018

me too

MacKEB · June 2018

Yeah i have been having this same issue...hopefully it gets fixed

domina89 · June 2018

I have this issue, too. I've noticed if I have a lag or freeze it helps to press alt + tab (windows) or command + tab (mac) and minimize the game briefly, then when I maximize it again, usually the lag is corrected. Weird I know but it has worked for me. Hopefully they will fix this soon!

Hello
It is helpful to read what helps with this issue in your game. Other simmers affected by this can also see if it helps them also.

rosemow · June 2018

Hello
This issue was fixed in the patch today
It would be best to now update your game

We addressed some cases where players were experiencing severe lag when placing wallpapers in build mode.

chinawhyte · June 2018

Today's patch did not fix this issue for me.

Hello
Are you experiencing lagginess in other parts of the game also?

If you are, there are a few things to do to try to see if they may help with your issues.

If you have cc/mods, move your whole mods folder to the desktop. Then start the game and see if the issues are still there.

Sometimes having a large amount of items in the sims inventories and household inventory can cause issues. Try removing some of the items from the inventories and see if that helps.

Repairing the game may help. To do that, right click on the sims 4 picture in Origin and click repair.

Try removing the localthumbcache.package file from the Sims 4 folder and see if that helps

Close all other open windows in the desktop when playing the game and see if that helps.

Try lowering your graphics settings and see if that helps.

Check to make sure that your graphics drivers are up todate

Try turning off origin in-game and see if that helps. To do that, go to Game Library in Origin . Right click on The Sims 4 picture. Click on “Game Properties”. Then untick the box that enables origin in-game
