Default Slow and Laggy
Hi everyone. I really want to play the Sims 4 but it is so slow and laggy that by the time I finish in CAS, I turn the game off. I have the game installed on my 1TB external hard drive I bought a few months ago but even with all that space, it's so slow and aggravating. My game version is 1.82.99 and my settings are as follows:

Display Type: Windowed
Resolution: 1.366x627
Vertical Sync: Off
Graphics Quality: Medium
Sims, Objects, Lighting, Reflections, and Visual Effects: Medium
Edge Scrolling: Off
3D Scene Resolution: High
View Distance: High
Uncompressed Sim Textures: On
Post Processing Effects: On
Laptop Mode: Off

Lag can have many reasons, but your computer need to meet the recommended specifications, and having the game on a external, instead of internal drive, might contribute to the slow loading.
