Optimization Tips

Performance is heavily CPU-bound in large households and high-density lots.
Cap your frame rate to your monitor's refresh rate to prevent GPU overheating in menus.
Disable 'Laptop Mode' in settings if you have a dedicated GPU to improve visual quality.
Use a SSD to significantly reduce loading times between lots and neighborhoods.
Limit the number of active mods and custom content files to prevent simulation lag.
