Game freezes in build mode (lot) since Juli 10th update.

I posted this yesterday, but it seems to have been placed under a different post regarding issues after an earlier update. However, the update I was referring to was the juli 10th update. When the latest expansion was released and the game and all dlcs were updated on Xbox. Before that update I had not experienced this issue. Also, the post it was put under was about the game crashing, my issue is with the game freezing. That's why I have reposted this bug report, so that it can be properly investigated. 

 

 

Ever since the latest update the game continually freezes when doing anything that requires the slightest bit of effort. I first noticed the issue while working on a lot in Copperdale, which kept freezing when I tried to place a light on the ceiling. I cleared the Xbox series X console cache by doing a power cycle, which seemed to resolve the issue.

 

However the very next day the game froze up again, forcing me to to once again clear the cache. This time it did not fix the issue, and it began to freeze while doing something as simple as zooming in on the lot. 

I have also tried creating a new world save and placing the same lot from the gallery into the same 30x20 lot in Copperdale. The issue was not resolved, thereby crossing off the possibility of an issue with the world save file.

The issue does not seem to occur when playing in live mode, only while in build mode. However, I have noticed increased lag in love mode ever since the update.

 

The game has now become unplayable, and no amount of cache clearing or reinstalling seems to resolve the issue.

 

I am also noticing a significant increase in loading times ever since the update. 

 

Please fix this ASAP. 

 

Additional info: all expansion packs except for "for rent" and "businesses and hobbies" have been installed, as well as all game packs except for "dine out".

    I play on console ps4, never had problems before, I updated my game on Thursday and installed the Enchanted by Nature pack. Since then I haven't been able to play the Sims at all. Within a short time it becomes unresponsive in build mode and if I try to switch back to live mode my sims are all frozen. I also can't save the game (it just keeps loading) so I have no choice but to close the game. It seems to trigger quicker if I start trying to edit roofs on my build.

    Whoever keeps putting my post in this thread, can you either explain why you think it should be here, or put it back where you found it if you can not?

     

    I carefully explained why I think it doesn't at the top of this post, so I would appreciate it if you could do the same for your point of view.
