Game freezes, then reverts to hours earlier

Since installing Adventure Awaits:

The entire world freezes, including the clock. The first time, I went to Manage Worlds but was stuck in the loading screen, so force-crashed. Then I could not launch the game at all. I rebooted and repaired game and could play again.

After a while, the same freeze happened. I was able to go to Build/Buy and put down some terrain paint, but there was no option to erase it or undo it. I went back to live mode - still frozen. Went to Manage Worlds. This time it didn't get stuck, but this is how my menu looked:

I didn't attempt to save so "the game failed to save" message is interesting.

After that I was able to get back into my original household... but time reverted back to the point when I first started playing. As in it rewound several hours. All the changes I'd made to the lot since opening the game were gone.

Also I was then completely unable to access the current event. I can see the Rewards panel but not the Quests. Before the freeze, I had made a lot of progress in the event, but since time reverted I'm not sure if that became confused.

I play on Mac. I have all expansions except Batuu and Strangerville and most of the smaller ones. 

I do not use mods or CC.

    The pack selection is only available on the main menu (before you load a save), that sounds normal.

    It seems there's was something going on with the save and the game couldn't save anything so when you traveled to another lot, the changes were lost.

    For the event: Do you have online access enabled ? See this for more details: [FFQE] Event Tab not showing/Event not active | EA Forums - 12644678 

    If you exit your save game and re-load it, does the same happen again ?
