PS4 - extreme lags and glitchy

Has anyone experienced lags and glitches even worse than normal recently? I play on PS4 and have maybe 2 thirds of all the packs (no CC or mods of course). My wifi connection is extremely strong (I have made sure of it as I work from home) and TS4 is literally the only game I have on my PS4. Some examples of what I've noticed:

  • Build mode: INCREDIBLY SLOW - it takes so so long to do anything whatsoever, placing a wall, applying flooring, placing windows etc. Everything will freeze for about 5-10 seconds and then the green circle at the bottom left of the screen will pulse again and it will unfreeze. This happens maybe once every 60 seconds and is infuriating as I love building!
  • CAS: again, SO SLOW! Similar issues to build mode but it also sometimes acts like the "select" button isn't working - I can scroll up and down (e.g. full body to tops to bottoms to shoes etc) but cannot click into anything, it's like my controller is broken. (to confirm, my controller isn't broken, and I have tried switching to other controllers just in case). About 2 minutes later it unfreezes.
  • Gameplay: various glitches and lags, just seem to be getting worse and worse recently. I have disabled autonomy on my sims so when they have no tasks cued up and I ask them to walk 2 paces, for example, WHY DO THEY JUST STAND THERE SWAYING FOR 10 MINUTES??? It genuinely takes so much fun out of playing the game.
  • Also related to gameplay but I have only experienced this once (just now): I made my sim change into the underwear set she wears to sleep in and she morphed into the actual monstrosity attached😭 (side by side with what she should look like) It actually made me jump! How on earth does this even happen? I tried changing to various outfits and back again but whenever I tried the sleep outfit, the demon returned! I also tried the "reset object" cheat which didn't work. The only way I could fix it was by going into CAS and then straight back out of it, but that was annoying as the loading screens take about 5 minutes each!

Has anyone else been struggling with infuriating issues recently?
