What happens if you load the save again ? Does it crash right away or is it ok ?

You might need to load a backup: http://sims4.crinrict.com/en/2014/09/backups/

Usually when this type of lockups occur, try canceling all the interaction queues (for me it often happens with teens doing homework), then clicking ESC to get the menu. Close the menu again, that often gets rid of the lockup.

They do sometimes lock up again so make sure they're queues are empty, then try again (queue may also take a while to cancel)

Thank you for your advice one of my family sims have become unplayable when ever I go to them they are stood outside the house and when I tell them to either interact with another sim they do t move and even when I reset the sim to cancel out the actions it works on that and then I try an other test see if if they move this time so click on the ground to 'Go there' but no that did not work either. So I closed my game as it was at the start of it I did not save it so nothing to lose and I rebooted my computer. I really do like this family I got them from the hashtag menu and the house that went with them, some one who made them into a family guy from a TV programme and the person who made them did a great job on them and I am very sad that they now become unplayable. I played them for 4 or 5 times and now they become unresponsive just like my computer browser that does that. Even resetting them not working now. As I know when you reset them they then become playable. I am just hopping now I restarted my computer game well work properly. Give an update soon.

      Another cause of this are outdated mods, so make sure you don't have any.
