If you're going to use mods, you have to be certain you choose mods that are updated for each patch, when necessary. Try not to select a mod that hasn't been updated in quite some time. These are called orphaned mods. Although Sims4 does allow mods they don't support them, so it's up to us to select carefully. There is a specific thread for the MCCC (Master Command Control Center) mod. Those who tend that thread are very, very good at keeping us well-informed on any hot-fixes, new upgrades to the mod and will answer questions about it and its use, too. Bonxie, in particular is quick to warn us of any mod-busting patches ahead, too. Deaderpool, the creator is also very on top of any fixes that needs be had, due to a patch. Generally, he's got a hot-fix later in the same day the patch was released.
It's also a good idea to go into Origin and change your settings from automatic update. That way, you won't be caught off-guard. When you know a patch is ready, you can then go into your documents Sims 4 game folder and pull your Mods folder out, update your game, and then wait until the mods in use have either been cleared by the mod creator (or others on their behalf) and not return the Mods folder until you have the updated mods.
I'm sorry there's a mod in your folder that's doing weird things to your game. That can be a huge pain in the behind. But, you're quite right to pull them all and then retry them one at a time, until you find the culprit.
