I am experiencing some lag since I downloaded the last sims 4 update (I downloaded it this morning) and since then my game has been so laggy that I can't play it! I turned off my custom content and it did nothing and I'm not sure what could be causing it
Can anyone help me???

Hello @EmilyTheUnicorn .
Move your mods folder to the desktop. Then start the game and test to see if that helps the issues.
Repairing the game may help. To do that, right click on the sims 4 picture in Origin and click repair.
Try resetting your sims 4 folder and see if that helps. To do that, move your sims 4 folder ( that is in Documents -Electronic Arts - then the sims 4 folder is there ) to the desktop. Then start the game, and a new sims 4 folder will be generated.
Start a new game and test to see if the issue is in that new save game.
Exit the game and then copy back the "options.ini" file and the "saves" , "screenshots" "tray" "custom music " and "mods" folders from the desktop sims 4 folder to the new sims 4 folder, replacing the new generated file/ folders with the old file/folders from the desktop sims 4 folder
Try switching back to 32 bit mode and see if that helps. To do that ,
Go to My Games in Origin . Right click on The Sims 4 picture.
Click on “Game Properties”
Change the “When launching this Game” setting to “The Sims 4 32-bit”
Try playing in offline mode and see if that helps.

A first thing to try, since this is connected to an update, is to repair your game (in case something didn't go quite right in the update process) and to clear out all your caches (for "stuck" things causing problems with new code):
Origin > My Games > right-click The Sims 4 > Repair Game
Then:
1. Move (not copy) Saves, Tray, Mods, Screenshots, and Custom Music folders and the Options.ini file to your desktop. If there is a folder inside Saves called Scratch, delete it.
2. Delete the rest of the The Sims 4 folder from your Documents > Electronic Arts folder.
3. Start the game, and exit the game. Now you have a fresh Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 folder.
4. Copy all the folders and the file back and start the game again.
If that doesn't help, do you have the same issues on a new save?
