    @BNERO1 Please move your mods folder to the desktop, delete Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > localthumbcache, repair your game and then try again on a backup of your save to see of you can duplicate the issue on a game with no mods.

    I was having this same issue. I saved the game right when my Sim was abducted. When I tried to resume, my game would freeze right when my Sim returned from abduction. 

    I found that if I removed my custom content alien eyes from my mod folder, I was able to play and it did not freeze any more. 

    Similarly: I also noticed when playing yesterday that I could not open an alien Sim in CAS. My game would freeze up every time I tried. At that time, I just removed all my mods and I was able to edit the Sim in CAS. So, I knew that something in my mods was probably causing it. I would guess that it may have been the custom alien eyes causing this as well, but have not confirmed that yet today. 

  • Same here. My save is in a state that the sim gets abducted right when I open the save. I solved it by moving the family out and back into the house from the map view.

    I deleted the entire TS4 folder in documents and started completely fresh (the game settings got restored to default and opened as if it was my first time playing it, so I know I started fresh), got a sim abducted and the issue still happens.

    Maybe it's important info that the sim I'm talking about is a ghost, so when I tried to replicate the bug I used a ghost sim.

    This started after the last update.
