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 🙂
I had this same problem appear a couple days after the September 3 update. It is almost always triggered by moving the camera, although I've also had it happen when selecting items in BB mode or randomly during live play. It seems to be exacerbated by having multiple windows share a tile (enabled by the Sep 3 update), as the game freezes within 2 minutes on lots where I've used this feature. Resizing the glass floor pieces from Island Living will do it, too. It doesn't freeze my entire computer; in fact, sometimes I am able to click through the exit menu by counting the changing shape of the game cursor, but not always. I can always tab out of the game and force quit. No crash report is ever generated.
If I am in windowed mode, it crashes to desktop with no crash report generated, and glitches Origin such that it tells me another user has Origin open, so I cannot open it again. I am the only user on my computer. Restarting my computer is the only way to fix this particular glitch.
