Issues after Sept Update

I haven't played the sims in a few months and recently updated my game on the 18th of September and this is where the issues started... 

I removed all my mods before loading in, as some of my mods were not yet updated. I selected a saved file that was modless, mostly to see the new colour swatches. I waited on the loading screen for 10 mins and nothing. Weird, so I restart the game and go into create a sim to start a brand new game. But I can't select traits. Weird.. So I repair the game, create a sim and start a brand new game with no mods, play for a while and then want to change an outfit, go to create a sim and boom loading screen of death. Okay... classic sims being buggy to I restart. Now I can't play on the new file, can't create a sim and my game will not go past the loading screen. 

But I'm determined to play sims and rot in bed this weekend, so I uninstall and reinstall the game. Nothing.. same issues. Now I'm annoyed. EA I have been playing the Sims for almost 20 years and now I can't even do the most basic of gameplays.

So to sum up;

• Have uninstalled and reinstalled the game
• Have repaired the game multiple times
• No Mods affecting the game
• Create a sim bugging and not showing traits
• Cannot load saved files
• Can sometimes create a new sim and play for a while. But if I leave the game cannot play on that file again. 
• Have cleared my cache 
• Have cleared Last Expectations 
• I have also tried the Mod milestone fix 

If anyone has some suggestions, I would love to try. I'm desperate.
