Sims 4 Won't Save

I recently started over on a new laptop and only have 1 save file with 1 household on 1 lot.
When trying to save after 5-10 minutes, it suddenly won't take the save and the icon spins there without an end in sight.

I do not use mods/CCs and have not gotten an error that my save is corrupted either. I don't think the save file is corrupted or bloated since I only have 1 household and 1 save file. I have also deleted the localthumbcache.package in my Sims 4 folder. I have repaired the game and updated my laptop. The only recent thing that changed was that I purchased the Growing Together pack and 2 kits. I have restarted the Sims 4 application around 10 times already after trying each solution and nothing resolves the issue. 

Is this a current bug within the game or is there something else I need to do in order to repair the game? This has never been an issue before.
