I fixed the Windows update and made sure everything is up to date. I had a new hard drive that didn't have everything switched over properly, cause Sims 4 doesn't allow you to move the directory path of the saving files so I have everything switched back over to my C:/ drive. I did manage to get the new game folder to show up but in game it is still laggy and I couldn't continue with the steps. The WIFI is not the issue. I just moved to another location in the past few months and the wifi is amazing here. I'm not sure if this would be an issue, but when my C:/ drive was getting full my bf moved files/folders over the my D:/ drive, mostly copying and pasting the files to other locations. Not sure if that would mess up the game in such a manner, but I have everything uninstalled and properly installed since I've been trying fix my game.
Guess I'm a lost cause then. I can't figure it out.

It doesn't matter that any folders have been copied to the D drive. The game will not read anything on D drive and the missing folders will be created again on C drive.
It's not about whether your WiFi works well or not. Simply for many players, it turned out that when the Internet works FPS drops - very low and the game is terribly lagging.

You can try to fix it in this way. For some players, it worked
Go to the graphic options in the game, see if you have vertical sync enabled, if not turn it on and restart the game. After enabling this option, the game should hold 60 FPS permanently.
Do not use any mods or CC for now. Check it out on a clean game
