What I mean is, when an SC sim wants to do his/her next action after completing the before, the game was like thinking what to do (and lags) for 2 seconds and after that, the action will be queued. I'm using the latest AM if you're going to ask me.
I saw a lag similar to this in my husband's game, but only when he was playing on a rather intricate castle lot. Between the ridiculous amount of crap on the lot, the size of the lot and the fact that the lot was full of effect foggers and triggers; his computer had a hard time keeping up. SC seems fine when he uses it with other families.
I'd have to agree. It sounds like the problem is computer suckage.

Is this a new behavior? Because I don't see it. What kind of system specs does this occur on? What are your sims doing? Is this occurring right after your game boots up?
Whatever SC option I use, it still thinks (and lags) what my sim needs to do for the next action. The lag doesn't seem to happen to non-SC sims. Here's my DxDiag.

Computer suckage? I had just upgraded my RAM to 4Gb! :'(

SC lag as described above is nothing new, however, it is worse since 7/21.
Any Sim running SC has response lag from the moment the Sim is selected to the moment the next Sim selection is finished. Pie menu selection lags when a new task is selected. The entire game will lag when switching into a Sims with SC running (or out of, for that matter) and can get stuttery when changing tasks. Since 7/21, lags can be quite long. They were noticeably long on 7/21, even with the SC updates that were made this month, and are much longer now, on the order of 4-5 seconds at times. Having no Sims running SC eliminates the problem for me. I have been using "Write Book" more than anything else recently, but occasionally I need cash and do rock collection. I have seen it on Skilling (Kung Fu related ones most recently) and Tomb Raider, as well.
I solved my problem by simply staying with the 7/21 version.
Computer suckage does not apply here. Quad core 8GB RAM and it will easily run 100FPS if I let it.
Personally, I suspect SC is hogging thread resources, possibly in a loop or check that is being called too often or takes too long to complete. However, I have not had any reason to look to see if that is true, or even to see how EA is doing multitasking in the .NET part of Sims 3. S.E.P.
For me, this is related to the posting I made on 7/18 (http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,18136.msg545643.html#msg545643) in the bug report thread.

That's very strange, since your computer is more than adequate. Yet, I don't see this problem on any of the computers, including a test rig that's worse than yours. SupCom runs completely smooth there.
However, the new build adds some theoretical speed improvements by using more caching, so you might get some improvement there. Give it a spin.
Also, don't revert: Every older build has had at least one bug that was squashed in it, and if you get an FSE, don't save!

For me, the theoretical speed improvements have worked. Lag is down to the "normal" 1 second-or-so and decision making time is much improved. Sim switching is not as fast with Sims using SC but it is on par with the 7/21 versions.
