As you add more content to your game, it requires more oomph from your Mac. Your Mac has very low power integrated graphics, a low power CPU and not much RAM. The hardware is aging and technology is advancing. Plus you are patching each month, adding more packs and adding CC/Mods, giving it more to do.
Your biggest issue is only having 4GB RAM and running Catalina which uses a significant amount itself. My game can use up to 3GB RAM sometimes. That is 3GB just for the game, nevermind the OS and other apps and background processes. Your Intel 5000 graphics chip also uses system RAM, it doesn't have its own dedicated RAM like the high spec. 15" MacBook Pros and some iMacs.
You may get better performance by rolling back to a previous OS, say High Sierra. That would mean wiping your Mac and installing the OS.
