@puzzlezaddict I just opened Sims 3 again and noticed that I only had one world to chose from. So when I closed the game and repaired the game in the EA app then restarted the game, it worked again. I have tried this earlier, but then it did not work.
Now that I can load my last save, I cannot see my sims on the left side, or the person I'm playing as. I have 0 money and nothing works. The one I am controlling when the save opens, is not able to finish their task (not even trying to quit it works).
Is my save now corrupt or broken?
@CopperBruiser788 Your save is pretty corrupt, yes. You can try installing NRaas ErrorTrap, Overwatch, and MasterController: it's possible ET and OW will do enough cleanup to rescue your sims. You can also run an MC reset and see whether that fixes things. Click on City Hall and select NRaas > MC > Town Options > Reset Everything, then wait for it to finish.
Each time you quit the game, while troubleshooing and in general, delete the five cache files in your Sims 3 user folder:
- CASPartCache.package
- compositorCache.package
- scriptCache.package
- simCompositorCache.package
- socialCache.package
After you run the MC reset, and I would do it whether it looks necessary or not, let the game clock run for a couple sim-minutes, then "save as" and rename the save, quit, reload the save, and let me know whether it works.
Some users have reported that switching households helps in this state. But I would NOT do that without the mods in place to clean up the corrupt data from your current household.

@puzzlezaddict noted tysm! Have a great day
@puzzlezaddict I have downloaded the mods. How do I use them? Do they need to be in a spesific folder? Do I unpack them?
@CopperBruiser788 Here's a good install guide:

If you have trouble downloading the Mods Framework with Chrome, use Firefox instead. Or use this guide:
