    @beccas24  Please test in a clean user data folder.  Move your entire Sims 4 folder out of Documents\Electronic Arts and onto your desktop, and when you launch the game, a clean folder will spawn with no content.  Don't add anything to it yet; just see whether the lag is still there.

    It would also be helpful to see a dxdiag on this computer.  You can attach one to a post here.
