wont let me play with sim

Is anyone else having issues with playing with the actual sim? i just finished making a family, and went i went to play the actual game, i moved them to willow creek and pressed play, and then it took me back to the manage world screen. I deleted cc, repaired the game one too many times, deleted xtra mods, reset my computer, everything you can think of! is this just a bug? lmk if anyone found the solution because this has been happening since yesterday. I'm about to just restart and delete the game as a whole.
