Gallery causing game to freeze

Each time I go on the gallery, it lets me scroll through a couple of things but then it freezes. It won’t let me close the gallery, it won’t let me interact with my game and it won’t let me exit the game. I also can’t interact with anything else on my laptop when it freezes so I end up having to force restart my entire laptop.

    Try the following

    - Close the game
    - Rename Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 to Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4_Old
    - Repair the game
    - Start the game. All your content will be gone now as the game created a new folder. All your saves/.. is still in the old folder so not to worry. 
    - Start a new save game
    - Check if you still have the error
    - Report back with your results for further steps on how to get your stuff back.

    I play on an Acer Nitro, so I’m Windows

    I tried it without mods and it lets me on the gallery for a wee bit longer but it does still freeze entirely. I’ve also tried repairing the game multiple times but this doesn’t work
