Odd freezing glitch

For the last two days I've been having this odd issue (which didn't happen on 1/7 of the times I opened the game to play it).
About a few minutes into gameplay, the entire image will freeze, but perculiarly, one can interact with the game despite not being able to see anything bar the frame it's stuck on. Thus I can, thankfully, navigate the menu blindly to save and exit the game.
1) Anyone else having this issue
2) What is going on and how did I avoid this issue on that one successful attempt?

Repairing the game may help. To do that, go to games library in Origin, right click on the sims 4 picture and click repair
Try resetting your sims 4 folder and see if that helps to prevent it occurring.. To do that, move your sims 4 folder ( that is in Documents -Electronic Arts - then the sims 4 folder is there ) to the desktop. Then start the game, and a new sims 4 folder will be generated. Exit the game and then copy back the "options.ini" or " options " file and the "saves" , "screenshots" "tray" "custom music " and "mods" folders from the desktop sims 4 folder to the new sims 4 folder, replacing the new generated file/ folders with the old file/folders from the desktop sims 4 folder.
Sometimes having a large amount of items in the sims inventories and household inventory can cause issues. Try removing some of the items from the inventories and see if that helps.
Make sure that your graphics drivers are uptodate.

So I think I'll try to:
1st Update Graphics
2nd Backup saves and repair the game
3rd The folder reset

I couldn't update because it was already up to date (It's a fairly old card), but upon repairing the game, there have been no issues since the first launch.
