Sims 4 Lot Build Mode Time Freeze

Hi!!

I have one sims 4 lot that seems to have a build mode glitch. After I exit build mode, the game is paused and frozen. When I click play or fast forward, the sims still don't move but the sound plays. I can't click on any of the other sims in the household, the camera is focused on whomever was selected when build mode was activated. Then, after a bit, the sims snap back and start moving again. It usually lasts about thirty seconds, and none of my other lots have this issue. Is there a workaround or debug I can try? I don't have mods or cc.

    Sometimes having photos that sims have taken on the walls or painting by reference paintings on the walls, can cause a few issues. Perhaps try removing them if you have them in the home and see if that may help.
    Also try not to have too many items in the inventories of your sims who live there.
    Having a lot of furnishings in the home may also cause issues. Perhaps try removing some of the furnishings such as clutter items and see if that helps.

    Thanks for the reply! I tried this and it didnt work. I ended up deleting that lot and putting in a new file I've used before and had no problems with. I had the same issue despite that lot working before! For context, the lot space I'm using is the 64x64 in Brindleton Bay. I've had no problems with other 64x64 lots, but now that I have Cats and Dogs it seems the big lots are glitching more.
