Game lags badly for the first time ever since latest patch

My game lags badly, making it unplayable. Removing my sims 4 folder and starting clean makes no difference. It still keeps lagging. I've set it to lowest settings and windowed mode and no change. This is really bad as I've been able to play just fine until latest patch. 

And yes, I use mods and such but even when all are out and it's clean, does it keep lagging. Please help. I cannot upgrade my PC for this. 

Desktop windows computer.

    You have a simulation lag fix? Can you link me to it? The only time what you're experiencing happens to me is when they cook. It takes a few seconds for that menu to pop up or the computer one. Then I click it again and it backs it out because its literally taking a few seconds for the menu to pop up. But it's only those 2 things, right now.

    Yeah, sure. They are mods https://www.curseforge.com/sims4/mods/simulation-lag-fix

    I also recommend this one to up the auto free will time to one of your choosing.  It gives the game some time to catch up. I think it will help with the cooking problem. https://wafflecheesebread.tumblr.com/post/744610375626096640/free-will-delay

    Choose one of the options in the last one. How long you want the game to wait until free will starts up again. Personally I use 45 in game minutes and works good.
