Thanks for the replies everyone! I had already moved the mods folder to desktop and deleted the localthumbcache.package before posting this inquiry. I can try it again. Normally I can problem solve issues pretty easily, but despite how often I have seen people complain about bugs in the Sims this is one of the first times in almost 10 years that I have run into one that annoyed me. I also ran Better Exceptions and a full mod scan. I'm guessing there is something that they aren't picking up.
i never use these forums. usually a bug like this gets onto youtube or something but you're the only person i've seen talk about it yet
