You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files and make a backup.
I did everything you said, and the thing that seems to be causing the problem for me is my "saves" folder. As soon as I added that back into the game, the glitch started again. All I had in the game before that was the "trays" folder, and it ran just fine with that. Will I have to restart my game entirely or is there a way to salvage my save file?
Could you upload your saves folder to some third party site like mediafire or dropbox and then PM me the link ? Zip the folder.
I'd like to take a look if I can reproduce it.
Sure, I'm willing to try anything at this point. Thanks a lot for the help!
OK, I've tried your save game. It's borked.
I was however able to load your backups. They are not the newest state but they seem to work. Not sure why a new save game did the same for you.
My suggestions is this

Before putting anything back, start a new game and see if the same issue occurs yet again. If not, you can start putting files back. The file Slot_00000003.save doesn't work so put back Slot_00000003.save.ver0 and remove the ver0 from the file name so that it's named Slot_00000003.save.
Then start your game and see if it still works. Your CC will be gone at this point so you see many naked and bald Sims. DO NOT SAVE THE GAME, just make sure it works. It's not the newest state but it's better than nothing, right ?
After that, you can put back your Hair, objects, clothing cc. Do not put back any mods.
Again, start your game. If it still works, you can put back the try folders and your screenshots and other stuff. You can also put back your Slot_00000002.save if you want. Haven't tried it but since you didn't start this one for a while, it should be fine. Leave out the Slot_00000001.save (the autosave) and the folders. They are not needed.
Then it's up to you to check your mods. Only put back what is redeemed safe by the creator.
Do keep a backup of those save games.
Also, I see to families on empty lots in your game. Is that on purposes or did the lots go missing ?
