Can someone help me figure this out?

Have you tried starting the game without any mods? Cleared the cache files?

You need to ask your questions here.

https://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/ct-p/the-sims-4-en

We can't access files on your computer so you'll need to attach your files when you ask for help there.

You can upload that LE file here: https://lastexception.com/ Sounds like a mod issue. The only thing that may work is to pull any mods from the game and test it. If the game loads then you quit out and start adding mods back in until you find the culprit. (Of course deleting the cache file every time)

Do you have any custom career mods? If you do, pull it out, delete the localthumbcache, then repair your game through Origin. If you had a career mod and didn't remove parts, or part of it, you might want to go through your mods to find it and remove it. Then repair your game once that thumbcache has been deleted. Another possibility is you are using a career mod that needs to be updated.

@inmyeye I uploaded it and it said there was an error with it. I can't seem to get it to work.

I have some tuning errors listed in the BE. I can't find most of them but I figured out the bottom one (I hope). I had one that was for an afterschool activity for teens called newspapers not journalism. I removed it. I didn't find multiple copies of it though.

I have mods by all of these creators but nothing with these. I used to have console about absence but I don't anymore. I can't find this job interview for criminal anywhere. How do I find these so I can remove them? Please help.
I can't get that thing that inmyeye posted to work.
Please help.

Full disclosure, I’m not the best at interpreting LEs, but it seems like your error is due to Zero’s Job Finding mod and Ilkavelle’s school newspaper activity (you stated you removed this, but make sure you delete your localthumbcache file before loading your game). The Cottage Living patch broke a lot of mods, so make sure all your mods are up to date which you can check for here: https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/991971/broken-updated-mods-cc-july-21-cottage-living-patch-aug-21-patch/p1

For further help on interpreting LEs, the Deaderpool ( https://discord.gg/z9qPtWU ) and Sims After Dark ( https://discord.gg/RqPqCdBsdF )discord servers are really helpful.

Hope this helped a little.

Edit: Oops, just realized that you said you can’t enter Discord. I second crocobaura in saying that Answers HQ would be a good place to go with CC help. They should give you the steps to track down your issue. If all else fails, you may want to try the 50/50 method as outlined here: https://simswiki.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:TS4_Finding_Problem_Custom_Content

@wormofthebook, thank you.
I took out the mod by Zero that you mentioned (I'm yet to play again though) I did notice that it wasn't working at all but I had wrote it off as one of those mods that works randomly or something. I'll look for updates for it. Nope. Neither of them are updated. Well, both are removed and neither of them are really needed by me.
