So about 2 days ago, I was playing The Sims 4 for around 6 hours without saving, I bought the Moschino camera in mid session of gameplay. I ordered my sim to stand on the subject marker and another sim to take a picture. I want to cycle new poses for my sim and a number of randomization, it literally freeze my game, I can't click on anything. The game is still running but froze completely. I thought, hey maybe I wait for a while it will be okay. But it didn't and I was forced to end my session using task manager. I thought hmmmm maybe it's my mods? but no it isn't, I started a new game and removed my mods. I try to replicate the same thing again in my new unmodded game, lo and behold it happened again, the game froze because of the Moschino photography Camera feature.I'm very furious at the developers, because something basic like a camera can literally break a game. Do you guys even play test this, never did stress test, before? Something innocent, like a camera can break freeze the game. Now I have to be more weary with new features that you guys are releasing.Also EA you need to get everything together and start to make quality games and DLCs, that don't cause the game to break becuase of a feature.https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/NEEDS-INFO-MSP-Game-freezes-while-using-the-camera-and-tripod/m-p/8116003

I'm in very confusion, right now.EA and The Sims Team, please explain why the camera photography freeze the game. It's ridiculous..

They played with the feature a lot during the live stream so I doubt it's the game.Could you elaborate on what you mean the game is running but is freezing?

I think I know what this is, does the freeze occurs when the game is about to switch to camera ui? because I have this bug before season expansion packs but they fixed it. bug prolly rears its ugly head again.

It is the stuff pack there's a lot of complaints about this on Reddit and it happened to me twice as well. I think it happens when you switch poses too quickly. I'm playing with no mods and no CC. You can still click on the buttons on the game and move the mouse around, but nothing happens when you click on the buttons to exit the camera mode. I also had to close it using task manager. I still use the stuff pack all the time and love taking photos, but I always make sure to save right before going into the camera mode and I switch poses a bit slower now and that seems to have helped a lot.

I think I had this happened to me only once but it was a looong time ago with the original photography skill. Not too sure about the Moshino Pack tho. Haven't tried it yet.

Do Not Use The Moschino Photography Camera Feature, OR YOU WILL RISK FREEZING YOUR GAME !!!

It switches when you are in the middle of camera mode. You know how you can take 10 pictures, will you take like five of them and then it freezes. Not necessarily 5 but it's whenever you switch the Sims pose

I've had the same issue. It doesn't happen all the time in my game, but I save now before I start using the camera after losing some play time the first time it happened.

Woah, I used it and lagged badly, I had to delete the all Moschino SP items for the lag to stop. Bought them again and lagged badly again after taking photos. Thought it was just me.

Sorry that happened op. I get nervous if I haven't saved after 30 minutes of playing time, so I do it often because I know how the game can be. I haven't used the camera yet, also I will hold off. I have heard these complaints elsewhere. Hopefully it gets fixed soon.

@SimAlexandria

Does this happen with the new camera and tripod? I haven't used them yet. I've only changed poses with some of the other cameras but haven't had this issue yet.
