If you’ve played Sims 4 on Windows or Mac, you’ve probably experienced lag in some form or another. Heads bobbing, time slowing down, going back to the past; these are only a few of the frustrations many gamers have been through. Now, there’s a Simulation Lag Fix that you can install to eliminate these problems.

Simulation Lag Fix for Sims 4

The Simulation Lag Fix works like any other mod for Sims 4. Once you have the right files in the correct locations, the game will play properly without any more issues. However, you should always ensure that you have the latest version installed for it to work effectively.

Step 1: Download the mod

Firstly, head to a reliable source for the file. There are many sites out there with malicious downloads to infect your computer or spy on you. Only obtain the content from the original creator or a website that caters to Sims 4 mods.

Step 3: Move it to The Sims 4 mod folder

For the mod to take effect, you’ll need to move it to the Sims 4 mod folder. It’s a dedicated location that the game looks at for custom content, so you won’t need to do anything further. When you start the game, check that mods are enabled in the settings.
