Right-click the desktop and select the Nvidia Control Panel, choose Manage 3D Settings > Program settings, find TS4_x64 on the list, and select the high-performance Nvidia processor. Repeat for TS4_Launcher_x64.
To be thorough, please also reinstall the 2022 VC++ runtimes, which Sims 4 uses. Hit Windows key-i, select Apps, scroll down to the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables, click on any version from 2015 or later, and select Uninstall. Don't touch the older versions. You can download the newest runtimes directly from Microsoft:

You'll need both the x86 and x64 versions of the 2015-2022 runtimes, but you can skip the ARM version, which is for a different class of device. Restart your computer after installing and before trying to play.
Please first test one of the problem lots in a new save, so the same lot but whatever EA placed there by default. If that's fine, you can test a saved build of yours, or the same lot in one of your existing saves, whichever you prefer.
