Hello
To gather a DXDIAG on your computer, do this :
Press and hold the Windows key and the letter R on your keyboard
You will see a Run box in the lower-left corner of your screen
Type dxdiag in the text field
Click OK
Click the Save All Information button, found on the bottom of the DXDIAG report.
You can then upload the text file to http://pastebin.com/ or a file sharing site such as Dropbox, google drive or mediafire and pm the link to SimGuruNick

I should also mention that DxDiags can only be grabbed on Windows machines. Which brings me to a very important question: is anyone experiencing this lag on a Mac machine?
Thanks much!

Hello
If you are experiencing lagginess in your game, it would be good if you could upload your diaxdiag info to a file sharing site then post a link to the file on SimGuruNick's wall. Because you aren't a full member yet, you are unable to meesage him the link.
Doing this will help the developers as they are working to find the causes of the issues that are occurring.

Just to add onto what DeKay suggested , try going to game options, and unticking : Online Notifications, and On line access, Then see if that helps the issues.
When you want to access the gallery, you will need to tick the online access box to access the gallery again.

Going completely offline really does make a difference. I hope that this is only a temporary solution though.
Thanks for the tips!

Hello @elram76 .
It would be good to post about your issue on a thread in the Mac section of the forums. Mac Simmers there may be able to help you.
The link to that section is

Hello
Try switching between 32 bit mode and 64 bit mode and see if one of those modes helps better than the one mode.
Go to Game Library in Origin . Right click on The Sims 4 picture.
Click on “Game Properties”. Click on Advanced Launch options.
Change the “When launching this Game” setting to “The Sims 4 32-bit”
Or change the “When launching this Game” setting to “The Sims 4 64-bit”
Try playing in offline mode and see if that helps.
Simmers have also been finding that their tray folder ( which holds the files of the sims and households that they have in their library ) has been causing issues.
Try moving your tray folder to the desktop , then test to see if the issues remain. If it helps, then just put back into the new tray folder that has been generated in the sims 4 folder the files of the sims and builds that you want or need to still have in your library. You can put the files back into the tray folder as you want to use the sims or builds in your game, then take them out again afterwards.
Your tray folder ( in your sims 4 folder ) contains the files of the sims households and the lots that you have saved to your library. Each sims household contains 5 files and an extra file for each extra sim. ( 1x .householdbinary, 1x trayitem, 2x .sgi, 1x .hhi and an extra sgi file for each extra sim) A Lot consists of 6-11 files, depending on how many floors your Lot has (1 trayitem file, 1blueprint file and 4 bpi files, and an extra bpi files for each extra floor).
You can sort the tray folder by date /time and that can help you to find which files relate to which sims household or build.
