Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199
You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files and make a backup.
After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin.
Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.
The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.
I saw the status changed to “needs saves” even though it was in the laundry list already, so I assume the devs couldn’t reproduce it.
Unfortunately it is hard to reproduce but it happens often in my save. No repro steps evident, other than using lots of menus very fast in succession. But I also had it happening when I used just a few and slowly ☹️ I usually see it while using the dresser menus of MCCC since I often go with it through different outfits, but I also tested without mods and had it happening randomly.

Ohh good to know, thanks @crinrict 🙏
I just noticed that the other bugs in the laundry list got changed to "Fixed" while this one is not, and it was also not mentioned in the patch notes anymore, so I assumed the devs weren't able to reproduce it. Do you know if it got worked on after all?
I haven't updated my game yet to the patch of today, I typically wait for a week until most mods got an update. And this bug is also hard to test, given it happens in random moments, but I will give feedback here once I updated and it happens again 👍
@karoschmitz since it wasn't in the patch notes (probably cause it's mostly performance) I need confirmation from either Maxis or folks that it's fixed indeed before changing anything.
Laundry List is no guarantee that something gets fixed the next patch.
I def still have lags on the fridge.
