Yesterday, my game froze. I thought it was a park I had built, but it happened when I finally got my sim back home. It kept freezing though. I shut my mac down and uninstalled S4 (but not origin). I also moved my old folder to the desktop (which remained there). I decided I would not re-install all the packs though.
So I take my happy a** back to start a new game, only for it to freeze. I finally turned my mouse off and back on, then it worked for a second. Yeah, lightbulb came on, it was the battery dying in my wireless mouse!!!!!! Now it is fine :D
I can relate. It is good to rant (but I usually don't because it ends up being my fault as I am not tech savvy at all)
