I had this issue in big/full houses. Does hopping into build mode solve it?

It did not work.  I am getting the error very consistently now by going to the park with a large group and talking to them.  Although like I said, this is not the only kind of thing that causes the Bug to happen.

@ayla5421 There are several known causes that can cause freezes.

In parks it's very often Sims doing homework and trying to chat at the same time: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/TO-ADD-Freezing-during-homework/td-p/6704327/

What happens if you click ESC or household manager and come back, does that unfreeze the game ?

@leooftheyear Does it start after something specific happens ? There's several reasons for this. A known one is if a teen/kid autonomously starts doing homework. There was also a freezing issue when clicking on the computer but that should be fixed.

Often it's also houses that have lots of moo used so could you test the following scenarios if you have the same issue (just for testing, keep your old)

- Different household (preferably in a premade house)
- Fresh save game

i started a new save and haven't been able to replicate. With my old save when i moved from from city living to a different neighborhood, the lag wasn't as bad but it was still present. 

 

Nothing specific right before, they just get stuck
