    poppingmythik​  I meant move the entire Sims 3 folder for now and see whether the game works.  If it does work, you  can start adding your existing files to the new folder and testing; if it doesn't, we look elsewhere for the source of the issue.

    As for the files and folders that I said would be replaced, they're not mods or cc or probably anything you've paid attention to, just stuff like Version.tag and tslus.bin and ContentPatch.

I've removed all the mods, and I've reintroduced them one by one and identified the ones that's causing problems. It's a long-relatively-tedious process but I've finally reintroduced back all of my package files and my game is running running relatively smoothly (or at least it's playable; as playable as buggy vanilla Sims 3 can get)! Thanks.
