if you are creating a household and try to create a cat or do it wil load a random breed but as soon as you try to change the breed it just freezes until you completely turn off my laptop the the whole sims family i had just made will be lost forever and i would have to remake it if i wanted it back and usually by that time im super mad and tired of playing and then i just dont play for a week or so.

    Sounds like a technical issue. You may want to post in the tech help section and provide your dxdiag so people can help you find out if your specs are inadequate. 

    I was just flipping through cats like crazy in CAS earlier and did not experience a crash.

    There can be two reasons for this.
    1. Outdated mods
    2. Problems with the graphics card

    Let's try to eliminate the problem with mods first
    Move the mods folder to the desktop.
    Delete localthumbcache.package file in the game, also delete all folders with the word "cache" in the name - important!
    Fix the game in Origin.
    Origin/Library - right-click on TS4 - option "Repair game"
    You have to wait until Origin will fix all packs, not only the base game.
    Turn on the game to create a new, empty mods folder and check if a game is working now without mods and CC.
    Check if there are new updated versions of the mods and CC you are using.
    Then copy from desktop your mods and CC and paste it in the new mods folder. First, paste script mods one by one every time checking if the game is OK. You can start with UI Cheats Extension mod because it will always be broken after the patch
    Do the same with CC but if you have a lot of this, try the 50/50 method. ( divide your CC into smaller batches for example 50 pieces in one subfolder and check these subfolders one by one)

    I don't work for EA
