Endless loading screen

Ever since the life and death update I've had a endless loading screen I can't load into build mode or a household but I've updated all my mods I'm at my wits end with this game I haven't been able to play someone please help me :(

  • bgirl123176  Please test with no mods or custom content, as in, move the Mods folder to the desktop and delete localthumbcache.package.  You don't need to save your progress.

    If your existing saves are still affected, please try a new save too.

      I have tested with no mods it still endlessly loads I'm at the point idk what to do I guess my save is just busted 

  • bgirl123176  Can you load a different household within this save?  Please test one or two, preferably households you've never played before.

    If that works, evict your main household and place the sims on a new lot, then see whether you can load the sims on the new lot, or the lot without the sims.

    Please also open Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 and delete any lastexception files you see.  When you try to load a household and it doesn't work, look for a new LE.  If you find one, open it, delete its first line, and attach it to a reply using the paper clip (Attachment) icon.
