Sims 4 Still Freezing after December Patch

@crystalf1ambe1  Your saves are the appropriate size, so you likely don't have the Father Winter issue.  You can still use Google Drive for your uploads; you just need to change the permissions on the links.  When you right-click on an upload and select Get Link, you can choose who has access to the file: only people on your approved list, or anyone with the link.  Choose the option for anyone with the link.

I did as you said, thanks.

@crystalf1ambe1 I tested your save and I couldn't get it to freeze but if you have the platform/routing freeze it might be hard to duplicate

Have you tested multiple households ? Does it freeze on all of them or just a specific house ?

[crystalf1ambe1]

I haven’t tested other households, should I?

I’m having the same problem! 

[fallenviolet]

Me too! It's super annoying, I can't even save my game! Someone please help me.

Hello all, I hope you can help me with the issue that I am having. 

Since the December update, my game has been freezing at random times. It will usually happen about 20 minutes into gameplay. The game basically freezes, not allowing me to click on anything. There is still some movement in the trees and in the Sims (breathing, shifting while sleeping, that kind of thing). 

Here are the mods that I have installed. All of them have been updated for the patch, and I have downloaded the latest version:

-KawaiiStacie Slice of Life

-LBB Grannies Ol' Recipe Book

-LittleMsSam More Best Friends

-Scarlet Uni Faster HW 50

-MCCC

-UI Cheats 

I have deleted mods that have not been updated as well as CC/Mods that affect height and/or skin, thinking that it may be a conflict with the new genetics system. That doesn't seem to have fixed the issue though. Does anyone have any guidance? I am on a Mac by the way, running macOS Catalina Version 10.15.7. 

Thanks, everyone!

@cvddle_kxtty_ Did you also test without any mods at all ?

There are two known issues that freeze the game. Could either of them be your problem:
