Simulation Lag. Get A Better Computer?

Well no, while getting a better computer will help A LOT! What Carl is trying to explain is the game's design. If there is one Sim that is somehow stuck then the rest of them will also be stuck because they are waiting for that sim to execute their planned action.
Another thing is that the Sims 4 is such an old game that it cannot take advantage of the newer technology PCs have. If you have more than the recommended RAM and a better multi-core CPU, the game still won't be able to utilize that power due to the engine being outdated.
Unfortunately when the game was designed the team had different goals and point of view on what the game should ideally be like. They designed the game in that way and now there is no going back. This is why I also don't believe that the Sims 4 should be improved on instead of getting a new sims game. They would have to redesign the whole game to give us what we want so they might as well make a new one.
