Windows 10: my hp lags when i play sims 4

I've done everything I could think of. I tried updating, clearing storage I got a new external drive, 1 TB, lowering graphics, deleting useless apps, and clearing space. Not only that, but I moved my Sims 4 to my biggest external hard drive, along with other games. I have enough space, and still, my computer is running slow. Please help me.

The sims 3 or 4? Anyone play them?

I've never played the Sims 4, but the Sims 3 is a lot of fun. I quite enjoyed the funny moments and building a house and such. Sims 3 is also open world whereas Sims 4 has loading screens for different areas. With both having their pluses and minuses, I don't think you can do wrong with either.
