Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.

Prior to this issues occurance, my game had been performing slow and laggy but the day everything really started was on New Years Day, or at least that was the first time I witnessed it. I had downloaded a bunch of new custom content for a build I was doing and in the middle of building, my game closed out for itself. I thought it might've had something to do with a corrupted file I might've accidently downloaded and put in my game, so I took out everything new from my mods folder and entered the game again. The same thing happened. I've tried deleting old cc, most recent downloads, etc and nothing. I took everything out and tested on a brand new save file (no mods, no custom content at all) and the game ran fast and smoothly so I was convinced something in my mods was causing the issue. I sorted out file my file, taking things out, putting things back in, running my game and no matter what I did the issue kept occuring and that's when I noticed two resource.cfg files. Now I'm not sure if that might be the big problem I've been missing but I'm almost positive there's something weird going on since I don't think a player is supposed to have two of those files. One of the resource.cfg file is from 3/27/2020 which is when I got my new computer and reinstalled the sims 4 after my old PC stopped working, and the other resource.cfg file is from 12/23/2021 which is pretty close to the date this problem started happening on. Again, not too sure if the resource.cfg files thing might me relevant but it's as if my original resource file was duplicated on accident. Those files are the only thing in my mods folder at the moment because I don't really know what they do or what happens if they were to be taken out and I don't want to put my game at risk. However, I haven't been able to play the sims 4 properly since December and I'm hoping to find some answers to help me resolve this problem. I apologise for the long complaint, I wanted to give as much details as possible. I'll insert photos for visual reference.

Thank you.
