Possibly. However, it sounds like something is still not working as it should. Like maybe the settings in the Nvidia Control Panel need tweaking? (How to below)
It's mentioned in the thread linked below that there is a known FPS dropping bug that's been around since 2015. A lot of Simmers are getting drop into the 40's when zoomed out.
Sims 4 FPS Drops
We went into game to test this and found we were getting dropping into the 40s as well when zooming out.
1. Right click on the desktop and select NVIDIA Control Panel.
2. Select Manage 3D Settings.
3. Select Program Settings tab.
4. Click Add.
5. Select The Sims 4 and click Add Selected Program.
6. Choose the preferred graphics processor to use from the drop menu and select High-Performance NVIDIA Processor.
Thanks i will try that out.
Off topic,
While i was having this issue i downloaded The Sims 2 Complete Collection from Origin and i am having a really bad performance. It should work flawlessly and it doesn't. I get drops to 15 fps, when zooming in/out, when i use the game speed button it stutters, really bad. I heard this is because the game is too old, but is there any way to make it run better? Same laptop as mentioned before.
Running max settings 1920x1080 except for shadow details (at medium to avoid a black square bug)
When in build mode or in Create a Sim, when i click a category it freezes to load the objects and then continues.
Just wondering if you had any idea. Already trid High Performance mode, choose TS2 to run at max performance, tried disabling the cpu cores except for one as suggested by someone and nothing helps.
