[FIXED] [MSP] Game freezes while using the camera and tripod

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
What is your current game version number? 1.56.52.1020 (64 bit)
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All expansions, game packs, and stuff packs
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? My photographer girl is also a novice spellcaster. - Place the premade fashion photo studio from the build section - Accept gig (in this case I took the very first sleepwear gig) - Hire talent to stand on the mark - Plan required outfits for the talent. - Take photos of sim on mark - Ask subject to change outfit - Take more photos to complete the assignment. - After you've taken enough photos to complete the assignment, ask the talent to change outfit again. - Then proceed to attempt to take more photos (still using the "take photos of Sim on Subject Mark).
What happens when the bug occurs? Once the assignment requirement is completed, the image framing UI doesn't appear anymore when attempting to take more photos and the game stops responding to input of any kind (mouse can still be moved, but no UI element works). Pressing Alt+F4 as a last resort merely shows the save and/or quit dialogue, but this too will not accept input. Have to go through task manager to kill the application, at which point Windows determines that The Sims cannot be stopped normally and terminates it.
What do you expect to see? Expect to A. be able to continue taking photos until I dismiss the talent, or B. the talent leaves once the assignment they're hired for is completed (although at no point does it appear that the assignment and the talent are aware of each other).
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

‌

Also worth noting that when the talent arrived several minutes after the "I'm ready for my closeup" message popped up, it was not possible to perform any social interactions with her and after blocking the stairs for quite a while, she finally proceeded to stand on the mark, at which point I could finally interact with her.

And whenever exiting the framing UI the game stutters and drops to single digit fps for a while before returning to normal. This stuttering also sometimes happens when exiting build/buy mode.

Never done the fashion photographer career before and only just bought the Moschino pack a couple days ago when I realized it came with a career, although the career atm does not appear to work properly.

Should've checked more of the threads. This looks to be the same issue as https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/NEEDS-INFO-MSP-Game-freezes-while-using-the-camera-and-tripod/m-p/8115891
