Simulation Lag

When I come out of build/buy mode the game freezes. I can't change the clock speed and I cant select another sim. I can pan the camera around just fine and get into the pause menu too. Its just gameplay that's affected.  I cant click anything. After about 20-30 seconds the game catches up with itself and anything I clicked when it was frozen suddenly happens. 

Sometimes this also happens in live mode (usually if the time was x3). What ever idle animation sims were doing loops over and over, time lighting such as the sun and shadows continues to progress and trees continue to sway. The clock remains frozen and again anything I click doesn't respond. Also the outlines that appear around sims and objects that usually appears when the cursor hovers about them doesn't show up. 

Once again, the game eventually catches up with itself, and a interestingly the lighting jumps back to how it was when the game froze (morning for example)

I tried removing any mods, repairing the game through the EA app, even did a clean reinstall and didn't add back any mods, but the problem persisted. My graphics drivers are up to date and I play on a windows pc that is very capable so its not a hardware limitation.

This is a recent issue. Video attached, Sorry for low resolution!
