What world(s) are you playing in? Some run better than others. And windowed mode can sometimes help; at the very least, it's worth testing to see whether it makes a difference.
If that doesn't help, please move your entire Sims 3 user data folder out of Documents\Electronic Arts and onto your desktop. The game will create a new folder when you launch it. Don't add anything to this folder yet; just start a new save in Sunset Valley or Twinbrook and see how it runs. If it's better, that means there's an issue with some content in the old folder.
If the game still lags even with the new folder in place, please run a dxdiag. Hit Windows key-R and enter "dxdiag" without quotes. Let it finish, then click "Save all information," save it to your desktop, upload it somewhere (the free option on pastebin.com is fine), and link it here.
Thanks for all the advice. I'll try that.
I'm currently playing in the new version of Sunset Valley.
