I'm curious if it's a bad idea to use four sticks of RAM in my PC, with two being 4GB and the other two being 8GB. I'm trying to figure out what to buy without compromising performance.

Mixing different RAM kits can lead to issues, including system boot failures. It's typically best to stick with matched pairs.
No, it's not necessarily bad to run that configuration, but you might face some performance drops with four sticks as they may not all run at the same speed. If you haven't purchased anything yet, consider going for two 16GB sticks instead for better compatibility and performance!
Honestly, I would recommend just going with 2x16GB. It's usually a better setup than mixing different sizes.
