audio playback speed is way faster than video

so basically every time i record a video and then go to watch it back the audio is perfectly synced with the video for like a minute and a half and then it starts to get increasingly faster to where the audio is like 5 minutes ahead of what the video is actually showing. Does anyone know how to fix this ? I can show my settings but idk how to turn it into a link lol

Use the Analyzer yourself this time. Some problems are gone now, but there are still a bunch to fix.
Except I'd leave the "Run as Administrator" off for now. That seems to be needed to get around some stoopid Windoze permissions, but it's also a security risk. If it ends up working just fine as not-admin, then keep it not-admin.

I basically just need to know if i can do sims 4 youtube videos with obs on my specific pc or not.
Probably not, because of the red one that's still there.

If not, is there any other softwares that are good and that would be compatible with my pc ? please let me know and thank you for your help either way
Probably not, because *creating* video requires a LOT of computational work! The standards are heavily weighted towards easy playback, and so the creation side becomes rather intensive to make that happen. If your machine can't keep up with that, then no other software will work either.

Maybe. Try it and see if it falls flat on its face.

If this machine runs the game just fine by itself, then you might get another computer and a video capture device to do the recordings on. Physical wire between the gaming machine and the capture/recording machine, and each optimized for its specific task with no compromises.

Beware of cheap capture devices though: they advertise well, but that's *all* they do well. For one example, it might make a big deal about USB 3 and how much better it is than USB 2, and show pictures of the USB 3 connector, etc. - all of which is true - but then it has a USB 2 chip behind that connector! So you still only get a drinking straw to cram your video through, instead of the firehose that was advertised. And they have other problems too...

That's one place where you do want to spend about $100 for a name brand that actually does what it says. I have six $20 USB captures that are all deceptive and not used anymore. (four of them were bought at the same time for a 4-input rig, then replaced with a single 4-input PCIe card that works a LOT better!)

Remove Display Capture and use Game Capture to capture your Sims 4 game. If you can't get Game Capture to work for your game, then try running OBS as Admin. If that doesn't work, then try Window Capture.
