Stuck in buy/build mode?
Motoki:
It's likely some custom content that is no longer compatible with the current version of the game you are running if you're getting stuck like that.
The area in build or buy mode where you get stuck should give some idea of what type of content is causing the issue. For example, after installing Ambitions I was getting stuck when going into Miscellaneous Decorations. It turned out it was Srikandi's recolored bathroom clutter (which is in that section) and removing it fixed the issue.
If you are getting stuck when looking at walls, try yanking out all your custom walls and patterns. If you still get the issue, try yanking out all custom content and testing. If your game runs fine in build and buy mode without custom content then you get to figure out which item exactly is causing the issue, which unfortunately is a real pain in the ass and involves a lot of trial and error.

I don't think that it's caused by cc. I just tried it again, and all I did was change the wallpaper (I don't have any custom walls) and when I tried to go back to live mode, it got stuck again. This same problem also happened with the Racket house a week or so before it happened with the Wolfe house. I didn't like the Racket house as much, so I decided to bulldoze their house and rebuild from scratch so I moved them out temporarily and bulldozed and rebuilt before moving them back in. After that, I could go back into build & buy all I wanted. I guess I'll just go and bulldoze the Wolfe house too. I don't want to since I actually like that house, but I guess I don't have a choice. I was able to build just fine and go through all the categories (that's usually how I decorate by going through one category at a time) when redecorating the other houses I've done, so I'm guessing some of the houses just randomly get buggy.
Motoki:
I also had an issue with a bad pattern causing the CAST to just keep loading forever. It could be custom content even if you don't think it is. It's easy enough to just temporarily yank it all out and see what happens. If nothing else it's worth eliminating that as a possible cause for troubleshooting purposes.

My game freeze when I choose the empire line washer, and also with a stove. These are game files, should I reinstall? Or copy from the disk?

If it's clearly EAxis objects causing issues then that would be my first thought, that it may be a corrupt game file or files and to do a reinstall. However you may want to try starting a new game first and seeing if those items still give you problems in order to try and rule out a corrupt save.
If they still give you problems in a new game, definitely try a reinstall, but if you have no problems with those items in a new game it may be that your save file is corrupt.
