SIMS 4: Can't load households (And a series of other bugs)

Oh boy, I've been having so many sims issues this week since downloading For Rent and everytime I solve an issue, a new one pops up. 

First I had issues making rental units in Copperdale/San Sequioa. Orginally the issue was that although I had 4/5 rental units, the game would only register one.

After constant trial and error, I was able to solve the issue but then my maps began to show up blank/white. Usually it was Copperdale/San Sequioa but once it was Sulani.

I tracked down the issue was downloading gallery lots with debug items (I noticed after placing a resturant on a penthouse lot with a debug tower, the screen of both above worlds would go blank).

After finally reverting back to a week old save and testing each rental residential lot one by one (after saving to library and testing each individually), I found that I was able to place rental properties in every world EXCEPT copperdale and san sequoia.

I have had the double world issue so I followed the necessary steps to fix it and was able to determine that the double worlds was the issue as to why I could not place rental units in those worlds.

However, now whenever I try to load a family, the game kicks me out completly. Tried making a new family, same issue. I am able to access build mode only. I have repaired the game, cleared cache and took out all my mods but no luck.

After trying my previoud save (before resolving the double world issue), I was able to play as my hosuehold but am no longer able to place rental lots on Copperdale or San Seqouia.

I really don't want to have to choose between limiting my builds or straight up not being able to play my households but seems like that may be the case ☹️

    @Tiff812 So I did some testing on your save and I'm afraid, removing the duplicate world corrupts the save game. I tried a few things but I don't know what exactly is happening and why the game corrupts.

    My suggestion is to go back to your save with the double world and play like maybe a few Sims week with it, then try removing again. It could also be that simply removing that particular pack is not working cause there's to many tie-ins if you played a save with HSY installed, especially if you have many teens.

    At this point, the only proper solution is to move everyone to a new save game which of course has a lot of downsides but I simply don't have another solution.
