i own what i consider to be a very decent gaming pc with a i5 9400f and a gtx 1650 super and i still get simulation lag albeit depending on sitations like which world i am in and how many sims are there but it seems like simulation lag is a part of the game they do definitely need to fix cuz i have played sims 3 for endless amounts of hours and never experienced something like this so its bizzare this happens with the sims 4

I'm not sure they can fix it, the best they can do is try to reduce it, but some things they have done recently have been the complete opposite, idle animations when your sim gets an environment buff, and the NAPs from Eco Lifestyle that spam autonomous actions for all NPC's are things that will probably add towards simulation lag.

The best thing you can do is get mods that get rid of unnecessary things like that, or you can get a better computer, but as SimmerGeorge said, it can only do so much with an older game like the sims4.

i did get a script mod which helped reduce it significantly but i hope they find a way to reduce simulation lag cuz its extremely bad on big save files especially
