Stuck on loading when trying to go to current household's lot in live mode.

This is happening right after I updated my game for the 9-18-24 patch. When I try to load into the residential lot of the household I'm playing, it gets stuck on the loading screen. It will load build and buy mode when I do it from manage world. It will load other lots, both residential and commercial. It will also load fine if I make the sims travel to other lots from manage worlds AND live mode. But not their own household lot for whatever reason. Like I said, I can open the lot in build and buy from manage world and I tried changing stuff around to maybe reset it. But I still cannot open the lot into live mode or travel with my sims from another lot to their house. I have taken out all my script mods and the problem still persists.

Edit: I forgot to mention, the lot is the Admiral's Wreckage in Sulani.

    @crisiscosmicat Do you have any lastException files in your doc folder you could post ? You can't upload them here so c/p the content or upload as rar file.

    @crisiscosmicat Same. I've had to force close multiple times since the update because it won't load, though I've had it in both build and live modes.

    Endless loading screens have many causes. Please refer to this thread for more info: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Game-Issues/MASTER-THREAD-Crashing-and-Endless-Loading/td-p/13328880/jump-to/first-unread-message

    First thing  to do is remove ALL your mods/cc by moving the entire mods folder to the desktop and delete the localthumbcache file then try on a backup of your save.

    If this doesn't help, please check for any lastExceptions you have and check if other households load.

    It seems the issue is either the Sulani lot itself or the built I made on it. I tried a few things. Played as a whole new household; split my main household to see if the issue is them; moved an npc into that household then split it again to leave the npc with the lot/build then bulldozed the lot and then deleted the npc so that whatever glitchy thing might have ended in the household inventory didn't stay with my own sims. After all that I could load the lot in live mode and travel with sims to said lot just like normal. But everytime I tried to place my built back on the lot it started issues, like I couldn't switch floor anymore, I couldn't change the wall visibility. At this point I think something between that lot and building on it is causing the main issues.
