Build mode not working, can't save game

I've dowloaded a couple of new expansion packs including for rent and horse ranch, played a few times with no issues, and today the game was suddenly broken:

-when i enter build mode, i can't make more than one change before any changes are impossible to make

-if I just stay in live mode and save, it's possible to save the game, however, if i try to save after leaving build mode or in build mode, it trues saving forever and I have to force-quit the game

 

Anyone else having these issues? And has anyone found a solution for this or do i just need to wait for the next EA update?

I don't have any cc or mods installed btw.

Thanks!

    Update to original post:

    I suspected the issues might have something to do with the latest update or the last pack I installed (which was "for rent" and I heard people had the problems I was having after installing it), so I ended up purchasing the Lovestruck expansion pack with the hope they might have fixed whatever bug caused the problems in the first place in this newest release pack... 

    This has actually worked, and everything's working just fine again, but obviously this is not a viable option for everyone as you've got to spend even MORE money to make a game work that you've already spent money on ๐Ÿ™„

  • I have this problem! Might be the new update. I literally can't do any event or ANYTHING without the game freezing and not letting me do a thing. So frustrating! (I have tried it with and without mods n CC, and it happens both times. So, based on that, I feel it's just a problem with the base game. I have the vampire and pet packs, and that's it-)

  • i'm having the same issues. i can't play the game for more than 5 seconds before it messes up. I can't place walls and i can't place objects... then I try to save and exit and it takes 15 years, so i end up just hard quitting it which loses the whole save so that my computer doesn't combust. 

  • Same issue. My build mode was lagging, could not build a wall, place objects, couldn't save the game, then it started working out of the blue and now there are issues again, but there was no game update in the meantime so I think it is from "For Rent" pack.
