Step 1. Rename The Sims4 folder to "The Sims4 old"
Step 2. Fix the game in Origin
Origin/Library - right-click on TS4 - option "Repair game"
You have to wait until Origin will fix all packs, not only the base game.
Step 3. Turn on the game - a new game folder will be created and you will have two - one old, one new
Step 4. Check if you still have this problem in the newly created game folder.
If the problem disappeared
Step 5. Delete in the new game folder following folders:
"saves" and Tray.
Step 6. Go to "The Sims 4 old" folder and copy - your "saves " folder.
Step. 7, Paste this folder in a newly created game folder.
Step 8. Do the same with Tray folder and TrayDeleteItems file
Step 9. Check if there are newly updated version mods you are using.
Then copy and paste your mods and CC from old mods folder to the new one. First copy the scripts mods every time checking if the game is working properly. If you have a lot of CC try 50/50 method ( divide your CC into smaller batches for example 50 pieces in one subfolder and check these subfolders one by one)
Step. 10. If all is OK - delete The Sims4 old folder.
Your saves and library will be not changed or damaged
If it will not work could you post your Computer's DxDiag?

I don't work for EA
Still lagging.
Here is my dxdiag

Go to the game folder and look for the Config text document. It will show which graphics card your game uses. Post this document here in the same way like DxDiag.
You don't have enough free space on C drive for temporary files created by Windows and this game together - if you have any programs what you can move to D drive - do it.I have my sims and most of my games on my D drive because i cant figure out wtf is taking up so much space on my C drive. Thats where i had it before it messed up so i can download all the mods i want.

There are practically no reasons for this lagging
The only thing I can think of is that you have some programs, like Afterburner, Nahimic or in the background are running some open graphics program - or even Discord, Try to turn off all such programs, and Nahimic should be uninstalled at all
The graphics card works well. I just have to ask when you last cleaned the dust inside the computer. If the cooling system does not work well and the computer overheats, it can also cause problems.
Did you try to turn off the Internet when you were in the game?The last option is to reinstall graphics drivers using DDU but I'm not sure if it will help you.
