is it just this household ? Could be something is corrupted about it.
With your mods out, make sure to delete the localthumbcache file, then move the family out via the household manager (or evict them from the map) and place them in the house again to see if that fixes it.
If not, do you have any LastException/LastUIException files in Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 ?
Deleting the file won't fix your issue. Posting the info is meant for troubleshooting.
This seems to be the last UI exception;

Seems to be an issue with the career panel.
Do you have the same for other households ?
Have you tried evicting the Sim from the map and placing him again ? Was he at work when this happened ?
