Is it true the latest patch broke Sims 4? Is it unplayable?

Sims aren't filling their needs on their own, even though free will is on. When washing their hands they'll jump between rooms during the action. Overall weird jumping between walls during any action, even if I reset them it doesn't do anything.
The lag is also ridiculous, every few seconds the game will stop for a second and then continue. Makes fast fowarding impossible.
This has never been a problem in my game, I do have mods and CC but taking them out doesn't solve the issue. I'm really frustrated.
