Sims 4 Castle kit bug

I purchased and installed the Sims 4 Castle kit 3 days ago. Ever since I got the kit, I've been facing extreme lagging in my game. It only appeared to happen when I was in building mode, specifically when I was applying the new wall paint , from the castle kit. The first time I tried to apply the new wall, the game froze, then load for a bit and then it totally crashed. I hadn't even saved the game, I lost progress from building and designing an entire castle.. So the second time I opened the game I saved the game with every little update i was doing in the build. However, at one point, once I clicked on save, the game froze and stayed on "saving" for good 30 minutes. I had to manually go to task management window and shut the game down, knowing that once again I'll lost my game.I decide to open the game for the third time, but only 3 minutes into the game and it crashed. Completely closed, it brought me back to my windows screen. I feel like at this point the game has become unplayable, I don't know what to do. Could it be that the latest sims update might have caused it and not the castle kit? I have zero mods in. Please help, how can I go back to my game. Thank you.

  • @crinrict I installed it, and I saw immediate improve in my laptop's over all speed and performance. And even though it helped speed up the process of loading the sims 4, inside the game I'm still facing major lag issues and bugs like:
    1) dragging wall tools won't build any wall at any place in the lot.
    2) eyedropper tool won't copy anything.
    3) sletdgehammer tool won't delete anything (any object or wall)
    4) Pressing Delete from keyboard while holding an item, won't delete it.

    I was trying to delete a door and nothing was working. Neither the hammer nor a simple delete.

    I guess I'm gonna have to wait for the next bug fix update because these are serious bugs and I never have faced issues to that extend before in the game. Thanks for your help anyway, my laptop is a bit faster now!
  • @crinrict The crashes stop happening after I created a new save. I played with the new file for a while, then I went back and loaded my previous castle game save, and no crash or glitch appeared in build mode. Hope it keeps going like this... Thanks for your help!
