@Kimdraws23 The problem is likely that you removed Pets. When a save is loaded without an expansion that that save previously used, it can be corrupted beyond recovery. Sometimes the save won't load at all, as you're seeing now. Luckily, you haven't been able to save your progress, so the save itself may still be perfectly usable once you've reinstalled Pets. Please do that now and see whether the save works properly.
Hi, firstly thank you for responding!!!
I've reinstalled Pets and it's just crashing at the same spot once again. I think it may be corrupted beyond saving sadly. If you have any other tips or things I can do to save this file that would be greatly appreciated but I think it's a lost cause at this point ☹️ Thank you for trying to help though!!

@Kimdraws23 I can try loading your save if you want, just to see whether I can fix whatever the problem is. If you're interested, zip the backup (more likely to be intact), upload it to a third-party filesharing site (Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.), and either post the link here or send it to me. Please make sure you've listed all the packs you have installed, and if your save takes place in a Store or custom world, list that as well.
Unfortunately, there's not much you can do when the save won't even load all the way. But if I can load it on my own Mac, I can use mods to try to repair the damage.
