@Salmonberry-Pie Please test in a clean user folder if you haven't already. Move the entire Sims 3 folder out of Documents > Electronic Arts and onto your desktop, and when you launch the game, a clean folder will spawn with no content.

Don't add anything to the new folder yet; just start a new save and let me know whether the game still locks up in Build/Buy.
If you do see another freeze, please run a dxdiag and attach it to a post.

I've been using all of this cc for awhile now without any issues and the issue just came up after reinstalling the game. I used Delphy's dashboard as I said but there aren't any other issues popping up so I am sort of at a loss. I have a lot of cc so I'm trying to avoid going through all of it piece by piece if I can help it.
@Salmonberry-Pie There's no good way to avoid testing all the custom content, but for .package files, the 50/50 method can make the process a lot more efficient:
