Catalina 10.15.3 Has Problems When I Increase Core Count [OpenCore]

Host PC Specs:

Ryzen 1700

MSI B350M Gaming Pro

16GB RAM

RTX 2080

Running Windows 10

What I am trying to do:

I'm trying to setup an OpenCore Catalina setup in VirtualBox.

What I've got so far:

I got it to boot into Catalina, but only with 4 "cores" out of the 16 "cores" on my computer. VirtualBox sees 16 total cores obviously and I do not in fact have 16 cores. I want to increase the core count to 8. I followed this guide to get the configuration working: https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/AMD/zen.html#starting-point

Problem:

When I increase the core count from 4 to 8, I get the error in the picture.

While researching, I mostly found this error means the CPU is not supported and to use VirtualSMC or FakeSMC. FakeSMC is not compatitble with AMD CPUs, so I chose VirtualSMC. Obviously, the CPU is working with 4 "threads," so that means moving to 8 shouldn't be hard. I even configured it to mimic an iMac with a i9-9900k (which has 8 cores)

Screenshots included:
