The Sims 3 is running slow?

I bought The Sims 3 for my laptop just 2 days ago and have played probably over 20 hours since then. It worked fine it was smooth and I had no problems once it started running. But today I try to play and everything is glitching. It takes forever and I don't know what I did. Maybe it downloaded something? I would like to know if there is a way to fix it without just uninstalling and restarting. Thanks.
