@rosemilkteaa Do you have any sims on vacation with you that aren't part of the active household? There's a current bug regarding traveling on vacation if the vacationing party includes non-played sims.
Other than that, do you use mods or custom content? If so, please move your Mods folder to the desktop, delete localthumbcache.package, and test. You don't have to save your progress; the point is to see whether the game still crashes.
If you have a lastcrash.txt file in Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 that corresponds to any of these crashes (check the timestamp), it would also be helpful to see it. You can copy and paste it into a post here—please use the spoiler tag—or create a .rar file and attach it to a post.
Hi there! Thank you for your help : ) I did have some non-household members on vacation with me, so I sent them all home. Even after I sent them home, my game still continued to crash when I tried "exploring the woods" or manually changing lots. I am going to go in and try re-sending my household on vacation without the extra sims and giving that a try.
I do use some custom content for CAS items. I only recently got into CC and don't know much about how it all works, this may be a silly question, but will moving the Mods folder out and deleting the localthumbcache do any harm to my game/reset anything? If I continue having issues after sending my Sims on vacation again with only the household, then I'll check the crash txt files and follow up with you here. Thank you so much, again!

@rosemilkteaa I'm glad to hear your game is working again. Since you have the same crashing issue as others whose sims have traveled with non-household members, I've merged your post into the master bug thread.
For future reference, moving the Mods folder out will remove all mods and cc from your saves, that is if you load them without the content present. So in a save you load, your sims won't be wearing their cc items, and any mod-provided traits or careers will disappear. As long as you don't save your progress though, you can put the mods and cc back later, or install updated versions of the files, and your saves should be intact. It's a useful test when your game is crashing for no reason; just remember not to save.
