Game freezes/crash when building/deleting wall

I am having a very similar issue. I have tried multiple different things to eliminate other possibilities but every time I try to delete a wall in build mode the game freezes and I can't do anything else it won't even let me save the game, just an endless loading screen until I force quit.

  • My game keeps freezing when I try to modify a half-wall by either changing the height or trying to delete it. This has happened at least 5 times.

  • Has there been a resolution? I am currently encountering this issue and it's making it impossible to play my game. I disabled my mods, removed the mods folder, cleared the cache, ran a diagnostic on my computer, repaired the game and it's not resolving. 

    The bug occurs when I am playing in build mode, attempting to add a room. The money does not get subtracted from the household amount and the room doesn't actually get built. I can move the screen around but the entire game is essentially frozen. If I try to save, it freezes on that screen. 

    This is a completely residential lot, 64x64 as it is my generational house that I was building. It is a large home with various components. 

  • I experienced a glitch three times in a row after restarting my computer each time. If you try to delete a gate tile more than one at a time, the game will glitch, and I am unable to click on anything else. It will not allow me to save. The save loading screen will spin for 15+ minutes. I waited roughly 15 minutes twice, before forcing my computer o restart to get out of the game. However, if you delete the gate one by one, game continues normally.

  • I am having the same issue. I have a house with a wall that I try and close and the game will freeze and the scratch folder in saves will start to fill up. It goes on and on until I use task manager and force close Sims.

  • Same here! I noticed it usually happens after I place a wall. I can put objects down and move them around but once I add walls, suddenly I can't place or move anything and it won't even let me save. I just spent an hour rearranging my house and now I have to do it all over again because I wanted to put a new wall in 😠

  • I'm on PC and I don't play with mods or cc.

    I was trying to make changes to a build I downloaded from the gallery. Placing and moving objects worked just fine until I put a wall down. Suddenly, I can't place or move anything. When attempting to save, the game froze until I had to force it to close. I tried to troubleshoot it, but after confirming that it only happened after placing walls, trying to exit the game has now frozen my entire computer. I can't even get the task master window to show up over the white screen of death. 

    I'll note that I downloaded the new patch right before this happened. I was having no issues before.

    Game keeps crashing in build mode. Similar to another report, building will be going fine then changes won't take affect - e.g. place a wall and it disappears, delete a wall and it stays. After this point I'm not even able to exit build/buy mode. Then when I try to save game and exit, the game crashes. Has only been happening since the latest update.
