Sims game crashing on loading screen whenever travelling

I've had my sim travelling around to China, Egypt and France - it's been working perfectly until today. She was in France, about to leave and then as the loading screen for returning home came up, it crashed after maybe 30 seconds. I tried to do it multiple other times, using backup saves and trying from there. Each time, there was no music in the background like there normally is for loading screens - like i could hear normal sounds when playing. Then it would get like a little bit of progress and crash. At one point I was actually able to get my sim home, I think I uninstalled Traveller mod and changed a top from CC that i think was making it bug but then I tried it on another save file (the same thing) and it broke again? So, no idea what happened there. So I then went back to the game save where she was back home and tried moving her towns to see if that would work, obviously it didn't (:

(For reference these are the mods I have : NRAAS (Story progression, Master progression, Traveller, Error Trap, Overwatch, Career), and ones like more toddler interactions, more romance, more pregnancy, mixed feelings etc).

So this is what I have tried,

- Repairing game

- Trying a new save in a new town

- Deleting Travel.DB out of each save

- Deleting ALL mods and cc

- Keeping NRAAS mods but deleting everything else

- Deleting cache files

- Uninstalling and Reinstalling

- Clearing current game files

Even after completely starting fresh in a new game with no store content, cc or mods, it STILL won't let me travel so it isn't the mods or cc, and how is it a corrupted save file if it's brand new?

I've been trying to fix this for over five hours to no avail, I don't know if I'm just being stupid or not, completely possible. I'm not the best with these things so if anyone can help at all, it would be so so appreciated.
