LUA Lag Spikes

I'm having an issue that I've never encountered in BeamNG on my PC that I've had for 2 years now. I've been getting these LUA spikes in the CPU section of the graph, whenever these spikes occur they cause the game to stutter. These ONLY occur whenever I spawn in AI traffic. My FPS is good, but whenever AI is on (especially on West Coast USA) the game randomly starts to stutter (just for under a second) but it is very annoying. For 2 years I've used vulkan mode and I've had no issues with it, in fact its given me a lot of FPS, although the LUA lag spikes occur in both vulkan and normal mode.

I did use safe mode, the LUA spikes did reduce, though even when I enable ONE random mod the LUA spikes come back. If I disable all of my mods WHEN in a loaded map, the LUA spikes stay. I've never had this issue in BeamNG so I'm a bit confused, besides my PC is pretty decent.

Specs:
CPU: 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-12400F
GPU: RTX 3060 (12 GB)
RAM: 16GB

Thanks!
