Every time I play Sims 4 I can only play until it gets to 2:58am then the game freezes and the entire PC becomes unresponsive. I can spend hours creating a sim but when it comes to playing I can only play for minutes before it starts to freeze. Each time it freezes it becomes unresponsive making me shut down the whole PC. I had CC but I thought that could’ve been the problem so I removed them all and repaired the game but I still got the same results. Its been like this since the big update.
