I am also currently having the same issue. I also feel like after every time I attempt to play, I end up being forced to restart my computer due to the game freezing. I made sure to remove cc to see if it helped but it doesn't seem to be making much of a difference. I'm fully aware that the PC I currently play on is a bit on the older side, but much like you, I was having very few issues with it before this update, and now I can barely do anything in game now without it lagging. Attempting to repair the game now via origin but if this doesn't work, I'm tempted to give up on the sims until I somehow get a new computer that can run it. It just seems wrong to me that a "rebranding" is really what's preventing me from playing this game.

Step 1. Rename The Sims4 folder to "The Sims4 old"
Step 2. Fix the game in Origin
Origin/Library - right-click on TS4 - option "Repair game"
You have to wait until Origin will fix all packs, not only the base game.
Step 3. Turn on the game - a new game folder will be created and you will have two - one old, one new
Step 4. Check if you still have this problem in the newly created game folder. Start a new game with a random sim and play for 5 minutes.
If the problem disappeared
Step 5. Delete in the new game folder following folders:
"saves" and Tray.
Step 6. Go to "The Sims 4 old" folder and copy - your "saves " folder.
Step. 7, Paste this folder in a newly created game folder.
Step 8. Do the same with Tray folder and TrayDeleteItems file
Step 9. If you don't use mods - skip this step.
Check if there are newly updated version mods you are using.
Then copy and paste your mods and CC from old mods folder to the new one. First copy the scripts mods every time checking if the game is working properly. If you have a lot of CC try 50/50 method ( divide your CC into smaller batches for example 50 pieces in one subfolder and check these subfolders one by one)
Step. 10. If all is OK - delete The Sims4 old folder. Now you will have only one game folder working properly.
