Newcreast freezes when placing lots?
I never had this issue until Installed Get Famous, when I try to place a lot it freezes my game and I have to exit out of the game via ctrl alt delete, I moved my mod folder completely out of my game...
Forum Discussion
@graceymanors Did you do the repair and removal of the cache file along with the other instructions in the order I recommended yet? Also, it would probably be good to mention that right before Get Famous was released there was a huge patch that did break a lot of mods & cc. Since you noticed this issue around that time it's possible that this is part of your issue. Just removing the mods folder may not have been enough to fully remove any effects, which is why I also recommended removing that particular cache file and then running the game repair. It may also be possible that these particular lots from the gallery became broken with the patch also, (there may be content in them that was effected). But if you remove that cache file and run the repair in the manner I mentioned in my other post that is an initial troubleshooting step.
I literally just bought Get Famous last night, so I haven't had the pack for a while.
I just now tried what you suggested, its a no go unfortunately.
@graceymanors Get famous was not the part that broke a lot of Mods, it was the patch right before Get Famous was released. So both were released around the same time. Sorry if I was unclear, but that's what I meant.
Can you please try placing those lots in a new, fresh game save and see if the issue is present then?
Could you give me the names of the gallery items your are having issues with placing and the specific lots you are having issues with placing them in? This way I could try downloading them from the gallery test in my game.
Can I also clarify that you no longer have any mods or cc in the game, correct?
Of course, give me few minutes.I just got home.
And no no CC in it right now, I moved my mod folder to an external hard drive.

I have just placed both from the 'world' and from within each lot each of these two gallery builds/lots in my game (please see screenshot of them in place). I had no issues.
Did purchase any game packs, etc., or add more content to your game over this time period? Is it possible that your game (or your computer itself) has become more taxed - more overloaded or stressed to it's capacity, in these last several months, and perhaps things like loading, placing and processing in this manner a larger build may cause a bit of an overload and freeze up your game &/or your computer?
If you suspect this may be the case you could try doing some things to relieve some of the load on your computer, since Sims is a huge game, and do things like free up as much ram as possible, clean up and compress the computer files, off-load certain large files to an external drive, turn off as many programs as possible on your computer while playing Sims, etc.
Tweak relevant settings in Origin and in your game to reduce load/stress on the system (ie: reduce the screen resolution, graphics and similar settings; play in windowed mode, turn off Origin in-game, play in 'off-line mode', etc.) You can also reduce the number of items stored in your game library, as these do live, along with your game saves that get larger and larger the more you content you have saved in your games, in your The Sims 4 tray.
