@TaigaWolf: Did you delete the cache files after deleting the mods ?
I did delete the cache files before attempting to start the game again, but it might have been after installing the patch. However, as I previously stated, I had already moved the entirety of my Sims 3 folder to my desktop so the game would have to create a new, clean folder, so I don't see how the game could have possibly accessed the old files.
I've also made a new discovery that might have contributed to the problem: I discovered some mods installed the "old way" in my Program Files folders, and have now deleted them. However, I've already gotten rid of 1.38, so I can't test if this changes anything, but other people who are having problems might want to check that out..
