I hope it's okay to reply here with my experience. I have removed my Mods & CC and repaired game. Santa shows up at times, but only just before 2 a.m. Within 10 minutes the game freezes, Sims hover in the midst of action (or inaction) and sway, ripples and trees move, game will not pause. I have to them force exit, as OP said.

I've been having this issue ever since the update that fixed the random crashes. My loading screen will take 10-20 minutes to load, and when it finally loads everything will seem normal. I'll play the game for 10-30 seconds and everything just stops. My sims are frozen but the sparkles around them are still twinkling, but nothing happens. I press "Pause" and the red box doesn't appear around the screen and the sparkles around my sims keep moving like the game isn't paused. I press play and nothing happens, it still says "Paused." I've repaired the game in Origin dozens of times. I even reinstalled the Sims 4 by removing it from Electronic Arts and then moving it back. I've deleted all of my mods and still nothing. The Create-A-Sim menu works fine, but I literally can't play at all. I'm really frustrated, has anyone else experienced this?
