@SimmerGeorge The fps you've listed is somewhat low for an Nvidia 1060. The game itself has fps drops, including when there are a number of sims on the current lot or when you're playing in San Myshuno, because of how it's programmed, and that can't really be helped. But in theory, you should see fps more like 80 at its lowest and ranging much higher. So there's likely something else going on.
Of course, higher fps doesn't help if your monitor can't display it, but you should definitely see a smooth 60 fps (if that's your monitor's refresh rate) with v-sync enabled. If you're up for some testing, there are a few things you can try, with v-sync disabled for now at least, so you see the true max fps.
Please undo the GeForce Experience setting to optimize Sims 4; you can set your options manually. Disable Origin in-game as well: hover over your username, select Application Setting, then the Origin in-game header, and disable the first option at the top. Move your entire Sims 4 user data folder out of Documents\Electronic Arts and onto your desktop; when you launch the game, a clean folder will spawn with no content. (Don't add anything to this folder yet.) Set your graphics options to ultra if theyr'e not already, and disable post-processing.
Test in fullscreen, windowed fullscreen, and windowed modes, both with your normal setup and with Origin and your computer offline. Don't run any other apps while testing. Let me know whether you see any improvement.
If none of this makes much of a difference, please run a dxdiag and attach it to a post.

@puzzlezaddict Hey, so I tried everything you said and also I tried playing with WiFi off aswell as also disabling the GeForce in-game overlay, just in case. So in every one of my tests the FPS in started at around 55-60 when zoomed in and as low as 34 when zoomed out and moving. No difference at all with any of the different things I tried.
Here is my DxDiag. Thanks in advance for helping.

@SimmerGeorge The AMD Ryzen 2600 is known to be very sensitive to heat. The harder it works the hotter it gets so if you have marginal cooling the cpu could clock down the hotter it gets the slower it runs, Also it seems that this cpu is very sensitive to the power supply. Again if you have a marginal power supply the cpu may be clocking down due to lack of power. You really need to check the ratings of the power supply. Some (not all) psu manufacturers boost voltages of lesser required specs to raise the overall wattage rating, Also not all psus are created equal. Some have dual rails which split the output and I have seen one rail loaded and the other rail with virtually no load. Like I said you have to look at the whole system.
