Going to lock this now as I only get positive reports.
Create a new thread if you have further issues,
@MissMutatedMango Do the lots you're trying to load have any traits or challenges, for example Off the Grid? That's a known issue:
Other than that, what do you mean by "full reset": factory reset with only saves put back, or something else? If you have any files in Mods (aside from Resource.cfg) or ConfigOverride, please remove them.
If that doesn't help either, please run a dxdiag and attach it to a post.

Wait, is this due to the Off the Grid challenge? Both households I'm trying to load have that challenge!
@MissMutatedMango Yes, if the lots have OtG, that's why they won't load.
So are those saves just lost forever now? My sim is on his home lot where Off the Grid is activated, so is there any way to somehow get rid of that trait? I can't even load into the game to go into build/buy or manage the world. Also thank you for your help!
@MissMutatedMango Choose Load Game, rather than Resume, and enter the lot in Build/Buy mode. And you can try the backups too.

If you can't do that, are you getting a LastException when trying to load the save? It would be best to delete the ones you have now and let the game create a new one.
Please continue to test with no mods or custom content, at least for now.
