    This issue now seems to be fixed in the 1.68.154.1220 November 2020 patch.

Just a thought... Because I was just having lots of freezing on a particular lot in my save...

Could this issue maybe have something to do with the new way the game treats/calculates windows and doors? That broke cc windows for one, but maybe the calculations (or something way too technical for me, I don't know much about this stuff tbh) the game now makes, somehow mess up the way the graphics cards in our iMacs work?

The lot I was having the issues with (save file I sent to @Bluebellflora ) is a lot with cc windows that I 'fixed' for the time being by placing Basegame windows on top of them with bb.moveobjects on.

    @Bluebellflora It was the Treetop Oasis in San Myshuno... In the meantime, the creator of the cc windows and doors there, updated all his cc windows and doors (and posted the master post to those yesterday after I added my thoughts in this thread).
