If your computer is at the minimum requirements, it doesn't mean you will get good performance. To check system specs, go to your control panel > system and security > View Amount Of RAM and Processor Speed. Also, go into device manager and open display adapters (in here are your Graphics Cards (if you have 2), NVIDIA or AMD are the ones that are for gaming. Make sure your processor is above minimum as well as RAM and your video card. Close any applications running in the background, by right-clicking on the bar at the bottom of your screen and selecting task manager. Right click on unessacary apps and end the task. i3 processors are not built for hardcore gaming. If your computer is not up to recommended specs, I recommend buying a new system, as an i3 is not for gaming. I hope this helps. If you want, you can update your previous post or reply to this with all your specs, so people with similar specs can try to help out!
Though to give something actually helpful: You should be able to see your machine specifications (Windows 7 and below) if you go to the start menu, type "Run" then in the box put "Dxdiag" It runs the Direct X diagnostic tool, it will tell you most of your system specifications, that way you can get a better idea of what you have to work with in reguards to what settings your computer should be able to handle. Like others said reduce the graphical settings, play around with them a bit too if reducing them straight up doesn't work, for some reason, and I don't know why, on some systems turning some things up actually makes them run better (Antiscopic Filtering or w/e the hell it's called) At least for me, I've noted across several machines that turning it up actually makes things run better even though it should make it worse. (Though I wouldn't just crank it up all the way I'd just incrementally, and I'd test other settings too)
But conventionally, I'd just turn down all the settings. Also, even if your computer meets the minimum specs the game from time to time might still lag. Reducing the number of objects in a house may help, locking it to just day and disabling the day/night cycle is less of a strain on your pc, other things you can do are lower resolution. For some people running it in windowed mode seems to work better but for me I run it in fullscreen, then again I have a pretty beefy pc. (And even my computer struggles with house flipper from time to time)
So the TL:DR version of this is: A. Get a better pc, if that's not possible B. Turn all settings down. and if that still doesn't help C. Try playing with some settings as you never know what might randomly just work with your pc. Also D. Minimise the numbero f background tasks runningo n your computer (Open windows and such) It will reduce the strain on your computer and free up more power for the game.
