Sims constantly stand around and do nothing for hours, time slows to a stop etc. It makes doing stuff impossible at times. Had to cancel a birthday event because no one would do anything. Sims 3 runs better on the same machine and yet both games have a load of cc (3 might have its version of master controller, not sure) and 3 has three expansions to deal with and yet it runs better (sims don’t just get stuck and time doesn’t slow to a stop). Come to think of it, Witcher 3 also runs better except the frame rate isn’t great (if I turned settings down it’d improve). How does Sims 4 run worse when all that’s running is a 50 x 50 lot?

Haven't had the in happen in months though. Sims 3 is prone to too much freezing for me as well as saves that corrupts so I'm usually playing another Sims game because I am very weary of that happening again.
Don't have houses full of clutter on big lots.
Cluttered sims inventory can cause lag too.
Clear out your cache (specially the localtumbnailcache),screenshots and tray folders. It lags a lot more if tons off stuff is in them.
And at last too many cc packages can causes it too.
