Sims 3 Game Won't Save After Exiting Build/Buy

Sims 3 Game Won't Save After Exiting Build/Buy 

My Sims 3 has been having issues lately with saving. I have tried just about everything to solve this problem. Basically, when my sim is pregnant and I go into buy/build mode and purchase items such as crib, changing table, potty chair, etc. it never saves after. I have tried this in a new save where I save as rather than save and the issue is still occurring. When my sim is not pregnant, the game will save. It's confusing. I have also tried to take the sim and terminate their pregnancy and then build/buy but the issue is still there. I'm basically at a loss because all of my saves get stuck at the same point where they are finally about to add on to the family. I have all the famous NRAAS mods along with cmar pregnancy controller and the toddler napping mat. I had the more baby interactions mod however I removed it because I assumed this was what was causing the issue. I have deleted all the pregnancy mods and deleted the cache files after removing them and still had the same problem. I would be more than happy to link my mods folder if anyone would like to see if one of those is the problem. I have uninstalled, reinstalled on a different drive (thought it was from storage problems), let the game generate an entirely new sims 3 folder, let the game generate a new saves folder, took the pregnant sim and moved them into a new save from the bin, and have deleted any .bad files along with cache files. I also checked in the current household folder and most of the crashes cause the game files to still remain in this folder, which I deleted. I also have the smoothness patch and I have tried launching without that, that wasn't the issue either. Anyone willing to help me, please do I would greatly appreciate it.
