Sims 4 - Tips for Crashing, Lag and Other Misc TipsThese tips can be found in various places around our forum and web, but I thought I'd create a list/thread that shows them in one place, for quicker reference. Please have a look at the Quick Links Index below, for quick links to posts that may help with said issue.
The following tips may help with crashing, loading, installation and update problems, missing content, various glitches, game lag and freezing, the dreaded Sims 4 has stopped working error and other misc tips. If you have any tips on reducing or preventing crashing, glitching and lag, please PM me to let me know, so they can be added to the list.
Thank you SO much to all that have helped me put this tips list together!!
