So I took a look. Awesomeville wouldn't load for me either but all the others did. The backup one also did (but I don't know how much time has passed between the two).
Did you restart the game inbetweeen trying ?
Did you change something like installing a patch ?
Are you using custom content or mods ?
No, nothing had been changed and I'm not using custom content or mods. I've tried most of the solutions posted in the troubleshooting section but none have worked. When I removed the files and tried to start a new game, it didn't freeze anymore and did allow me to start. But when I added back in my backup "saved files" and tried to play, the same problem happened. Froze up during the launch.
Here is further info from when I went into reliability monitor.

Thanks so much for responding! Any help would be greatly appreciated as I hate to have lost all of my work! ☹️
Did you just add a savegame back or anything else ?
I can take a look if they load for me. Just zip up the entire folder of the savegame and upload to dropbox or mediafire. PM me the link.
I only loaded back the "Saves" folder but I did the entire folder at once. Should I try one file at a time?
Did you notice anything in the diagnostics that I posted that would point to the error?
I'm uploading the file to dropbox and will send it to you when it's done syncing.
Thanks!
I'll get back to when I've taken a look.
