Game crashes at specific times (all saves)

At this point I don't know what else to do without uninstalling/reinstalling and hoping the issue goes away. My game crashes at specific times in each save, and I don't know what is causing it. For example, I might make it to 6:35 pm in-game and the game will freeze and crash at that time, every time. 

The freeze/crash time is not consistent across my saves, but something is causing it to happen in all the saves. In a new save, I can usually make it until about the first day of a new fall season (I thought maybe the festival lots updating might be in issue?) before crashing. The problem started when I was playing around with mods and I might've had some things in there that unknowingly conflicted. I tried moving my mods folder out and onto my desktop, and no changes. So there's no NRAAS, no UI mods, or anything else I can think of that could be messing me up. Maybe some outdated CC? I have no idea, but I really miss playing. Please help!

    00SELAH00​  Sorry for the late reply.  Does this happen in any world, or are you playing in different worlds and seeing the same thing?  You've removed your mods, but have you tried a clean user folder?  As in, move the entire Sims 3 folder out of Documents > Electronic Arts and onto your desktop, allowing the game to generate a new folder the next time you open the launcher.  This is the only way to be sure your data has no lingering effects from mods (other than the ones that go in Bin, like the Smooth Patch) or custom content.
