Uhm ok.
Since my problem has not been resolved I want to update this.
I installed then later uninstalled AMD controller because the only thing it did was: nothing. Oh wait it did, it increased the sound of my CPU (you know? THAT sound, when ventilators or something are working hard, a sound I've never heard before in THIS computer). It also closed GPU using things, e.g. I was playing a card game and while TS4 was closing, which as I already stated before it takes 10 - 15 min, card game just closed, I noticed it used a highest amount of GPU than TS4.
So I proceeded to low the quality of my game, I'm currently running it at its lowest. No change. Lag still happens, thing is unplayable.
I'm briefly gonna describe how it goes:
I wake up
Turn on computer
Launch The Sims from the task bar, Origin's logo, right click, Run The Sims 4 Digital Deluxe
I don't open anything else, though computer runs things, like McAfee and things I can't even read :\
Game launches
Takes two minutes to take me to the world screen (the one you choose the household you're currently playing with)
Loading the household takes 3 - 4 min IF the Sim is at home, if they are someplace else, it takes 7 - 10 min
Game starts
After 5 mins, lag starts, sound starts failing (it scratches, doubles), animation is laggy, Sims freeze, I have to pause/unpause for them to continue whatever they're doing, they walk through walls, furniture, swim outside the pool... things like that.
IF I have to travel (to Uni, as of lately) it takes 10 - 15 min to do so.
While there, lag is even worse, other Sims won't move at all, my Sim would take 2 min to react to whatever action they're supposed to do and as an example, just a few minutes ago, my Sim was at Uni, her classes were off the clock though she attended them all using the pause/unpause trick, and when I sent her to teach a class she spent until 5 am there, I had to exit game 'cause she wouldn't go out even though green bar showed she had completed the task, pause/unpause trick wouldn't work anymore so I closed the thing.
All of this happened in just 1 hour, which means I can play TS4 for an hour. 1 hour only. Day has 24 of them.
Is it me? Is it you? Is it the world itself? the economy? the weather?
Please help
AMD Radeon controller update WON'T FIX ANYTHING
Shall I change my graphic card?
My whole computer?
Or can I save all my households to the gallery, start a new game, and download them all to start afresh? Relationships will break though, I've done this once, sisters stopped being sisters, parents had no children anymore, it was a great loss for me, I worked so hard to get a HUGE family tree.
Thank you

Update:
I contacted EA Help (in Spanish), they gave me some advice on uninstalling/reinstalling TS4, it fixed nothing.
I haven't contact them again because timing, but I will.
I'll keep you updated until this gets fixed, 'cause certainly everybody cares.
Thank you for coming to my monologue.
