Did the game ever run right? Do you have any mods? It is possible the system is running something in the background that is using a lot of resources. Run task manager and see if there isn't something running using a lot of cpu time. Please post your make and model of cpu.

Yes, my game has worked properly for about a year now.
No, I don't have any mods. I had one at one point, but I have since removed it.
My CPU is an Intel Pentium at, I believe, 4.2 Ghz. I know that it's pretty low, but, as I said, it has worked well for about a year now.
And I have studied the task manager while running the Sims 4, and there are no background programs that would take any or much CPU power. And like I said, the same thing would happen even when I lowered the graphics, where medium would lead to 50% CPU usage.

  Does it matter which Sim you use ? Do they maybe have lots of stuff in their inventory ?

    It does not matter which Sim I use. I'm currently using brand new household that has nothing in their inventories, and I am still having the same problems.
