Playtesting slows down game incredibly.

Before you ask, yes I've done everything listed here on another forums. From removing almost all the unused assets, to updating my driver, to changing a file's code, to installing the package (Well, I tried to at least. No clue where to put it!). After ALL of that? Nope, not a single change. Any ideas? If you're curious, I'm on Windows 7 with NVIDIA's driver.

Try yanfly plugin FPS monitor sync, otherwise, idk how to help you.

Perhaps your computer is just old. It might not do that on all computers. But do do what Solwern said.

If you make a new project with nothing added, does that project slow down as well?

There are many possible causes of lag, and we need to identify what causes them in your case before we can help.

Sorry about the incredibly long wait, Winter Break and school related stuff. I tried using the plugin, and there were literally zero changes.
As for making a new project, it oddly worked perfectly fine...

I guess I'm starting anew, huh? Oh well, I wasn't terribly far anyway

No, you don't need to start anew - you need to update your project core files as the first step to solving the problem.

If a new project works, then you either have an incredible old project core that still has several memory leaks that were fixed years ago (and you only updated your editor but never your projects since then), or you have some incompatible plugins mixing everything up.

So first, go and manually update your project (instructions are in every update topic, the latest was about the 1.5.1 update).
If that doesn't fix the problem, we need screenshots of your plugin manager.

I don't know if this helps, but both versions- the new and old project- were on 1.5.1
Just in case, I did update my project according to SumRndmDde's tutorial. No dice.
Here's the old project's plugins and the new project's

Can you give me a link to that tutorial? Because I'm not sure that that tutorial is about the same updates as the official update instructions...

Whoops, completely forgot to link it.
