PS4 game freezes at save when baby pig born.

    I have been playing the game on my PS4 for several months and I'm in my fifth play through. Recently I've had a glitch/bug that is a bit annoying. Twice in the last few days when the day is saving I get the message that a baby pig has been born. The game just freezes, I can't click on anything and I have to close app, thus losing a whole day of work. Both times when this has happened the barn with the pigs was full and I was wondering if that was the problem. I do have a second barn that isn't full but I don't get a prompt asking if I want to move the new pig there or sell one of my other pigs. I have tried to search for this problem but haven't found anything. Has anyone else had this issue? Is this something that is exclusive to the consoles? I would love to know how to prevent it from crashing.

      Perhaps later in the week I can test this on my file and see if I am able to reproduce. Currently don't have pigs unlocked yet, but I'm not far off. I'll also have to research the pregnancy/birth mechanics. I'll be sure to post here with my findings.

        I appreciate that. I haven't had the glitch again but I haven't had any births of barn animals. I don't have any problem with coop animals, my chickens and stuff hatch fine.

          I don't know if I solved the problem yet since I haven't had any barn births in a few days, but I changed my cursor from mouse type, where you can point at anything on the screen, to controller style which is sluggish and basically means I have to go from top to bottom every time I want to move something. I have no idea if my issue is a cursor based one or not but I had noticed that occasionally the mouse arrow would disappear when I'd go to Pierre's or at the end of the day. If I get another glitch I will let you all know. In the mean time, if anyone has an idea what could be causing this I'd love to know. There is one other thing, I had thought that my barn was full when the glitches happened but when I double checked on the max animals for the barns, there was still room for 2 more animals.

            Update: The cursor must have been the problem because today there was a baby pig born and no crash! I guess the PS4 prefers the controller cursor rather than the mouse type. It's a bit clunkier but it works fine and no crashes. I've been playing with the mouse type cursor since I first got the game in August and it's only recently that I've had this glitch, so I'm not sure if it is gone for good or just for now. I will keep you informed if I have anymore crashes.
