The subject line says it all. I've looked at various forums on-line and others are having similar issues, but no one has answers.
Sims 4 is the only game or process being affected like this. I can run Witcher3 with Ultra graphics settings and my CPU usage is stable at about 60%. Bethesda games like Skyrim and Fallout New Vegas run at about 43%, and that's on maximum settings and both games are heavily modded.
For Sims 4, after the Toddler update was released I did the usual preventive measures; removed the folder at C:\Users\MyName\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4. I moved the Sims 4 folder to my desktop, started the game so it would make a new folder, get the game updated, etc. Then I added my saves, Tray and Mods back and played the game. Everything worked fine for about four days and then my game suddenly crashed to BIOS without a warning or any error messages. Now Sims 4 clocks my CPU at close to 80% when sitting idle and near 100% if I try to actually play the game. Before the BIOS crash Sims 4 ran about the same as my other games.
My Intel CPU core is running at 3.01 Ghz (the maximum I can get with a dual core). I have a 120GB of free disk space and my Physical Memory never tops 45%. I have almost all background processes disabled out of habit. With 8 GB of RAM and a GTX 550Ti graphics card that is more than enough machine to run Sims 4. As I stated the game was fine until the Toddler update. I haven't installed any new software (other than the Sims 4 update), nor have I downloaded or installed anything else.
Anyone know what's going on and how to fix it?
