@Zapix_ - The crash log information is not really helpful. All it is telling us is that your game is crashing. I can see though that you are playing on Patch 1.69 and therefore cannot possibly be having the exact same issue that the OP on this thread was even if the symptoms seem similar.
What you have confirmed here is that, for whatever reason, you have a "bad" save. The nhd file is your saved game, or rather the saved instance of Riverview with your sims and progress in it, that is refusing to load. If you can successfully run a new game or an old game, but no matter how you manipulate that particular Riverview nhd file the game instance you are trying to get into will not load, then there really isn't much point in trying to resurrect that saved game any further because it is damaged. This is why we always advise keeping a few extra Save As copies (with slightly different names) of ongoing games we care about on hand so we can revert play should something go wrong with the current one and the one auto-generated backup file.
One thing you could try is pull out your entire TS3 user game folder to the Desktop (or rename it) thus forcing the game to spawn a new one with no content and no saves. Install Riverview on it it, then put a copy of the damaged game save into the new folder to see if it will load in a "clean" no other content environment.
The size of that nhd file at 195 MB is pretty large for Riverview. The game does not do a good job of self-maintenance and over time without further steps being taken using mods and/or Save Cleaning techniques, ongoing saved games will bloat and become corrupt. I can point you to a page full of tips and tricks to help prevent that from happening, but afraid they aren't going to be very useful once it has already done so.
