@JeanVW How often does this happen? Are there any patterns, for example that the same world(s) are affected, or only households with a high number of sims, or when you use a certain cheat? Did this start happening before or after the June 3 patch? Can you reproduce this reliably?
If you can reproduce, it would be useful to see whether it happens in a completely vanilla game. Please test in a base game world (Willow Creek, Oasis Springs, Newcrest) in a clean folder. Move your entire Sims 4 user data folder out of Documents\Electronic Arts and onto your desktop, and when you launch the game, a clean folder will spawn with no content. Don't add anything to it yet; just start a new save and see whether the error reappears. Let me know either way.
If you can't reproduce, that's fine, just tell me if there's a pattern to when it happens, even though it's sporadic. I'd also like to see a dxdiag, in case anything jumps out.

When you say you "reinstalled your PC," do you mean that you reinstalled Windows, or reset the PC to factory settings, or something else? There are a lot of different kinds of resets, and they're all a bit different in what they accomplish.
@puzzlezaddict It's usually when I enter build/buy mode. It'll start to lag REAL bad when there.
Usually when I click the three dots (options) menu it goes away. But it comes back often too. So it's very frustrating.
My FPS is usually a steady 59/60 (I've capped it to 59).
I've put my Dxdiag in my message!
This is exactly what happens to me too, i hit the 3 dots, it goes away, but only when i go from build to live mode, and live to build mode!
