This issue now seems to be fixed in the 1.68.154.1220 November 2020 patch.
Thanks all for confirming it now seems to be fixed. If you start experiencing issues again please post 🙂
Surprisingly no issues last night or today so far!
I will keep everyone posted... but so far a couple of hours without any problems.
Not holding my breath though.
Edit: Spoke too soon. Literally right after I posted this my game froze. Ughhhhh.
Wanted to post an update.
Had my game in build mode from around 10:00 AM yesterday after the patch update to about 5:00 PM, so pretty much all day, without issue. Granted, most of the time, I just left Sims 4 running rather than actually building but I had to have been actively playing Sims 4 in build mode for at least two hours of that time. Build mode did not freeze once. I had custom content enabled and installed in the game but no build mode custom content. I continuously saved throughout my build in anticipation but nothing happened. Was slightly laggier than normal but that could have been me being overly cautious and doing small movements.
Have noticed something new but it was the day prior to patch. Didn't notice it before this past Monday. I'll add it here in images so you can see what I am talking about. My Sims 4 character is wearing CC so it could be the result of this but as you'll see in the attachment, my Sim has some strange bright white lines spreading out from the body of the character into the ether.
Not sure what is causing this but I thought I would bring it in to the mix of issues.
Will update everyone if I have any future freezing problems.
