meekdmonty If you're still trying to solve this issue, please try playing in a clean user folder. Move the entire Sims 4 folder out of Documents > Electronic Arts and onto your desktop. When you launch the game, a clean folder will spawn with no content. (Your saves and other content will be intact in the folder you've moved but temporarily unread by the game.) Don't add anything to the new folder yet; just start a new save and see how it runs.
If you get another freeze, please provide a dxdiag. Click Windows key-R, enter dxdiag in the run box, wait for the scan to finish, click "Save all information," and save the file to your desktop. From there, you can attach it to a reply using the paper clip (Attachment) icon included with the other formatting buttons.
If you're playing in windowed mode, you should at least be able to use ctrl-alt-delete to bring up the Task Manager and close the game. Let me know if that is not the case, whether you can't see the Task Manager or ctrl-alt-delete does nothing at all. Signing out through that menu is another option: it'll kick you to the Windows sign-in screen and close all running apps in the process.
