All CC suddenly got broken
Hello. This is the story of my battle against broken CC. So a couple of days ago I've got a very annoying problem where when i put any CC hair on my sim, his icon starts loading forever. Like this:...

.. I heard my name called.
I read the thread and the only time I had a game refuse to load as in getting stuck "loading" and playing the music, etc. But that was when I tried to load a very old save to 'go back to what once was". This doesn't seem to be your problem.
I saw Kimmy's (Park) notes and if you ran a virus scan, if nothing but to rule out malware doing something to system resources and therefore affecting the game's ability to run-- and it shows clear then the issue is in the game program itself. Something happened those few days ago and now it's corrupted.
You didn't mention deleting the entire Sims 4 folder. AFTER pulling out Saves, Tray, Mods and Config. The latter is optional) Put them on the desktop, delete the Sims 4 folder (or move it to the desktop. When you launch the game it generates a new one. First see if it'll load up. It'll be total vanilla but this way you'll see if it runs at all. Then replace the new Saves Tray and Mods folders inside with the ones you put on the desktop,.
If the problem persists, then I'm afraid there's something it doesn't like about your CC. But that is odd because it happened well after the June patch yet before the July 10 one.
One other thing, if you can load the game at all, even vanilla, check the game settings. perhaps some of the settings are too high. They shouldn't set themselves but I have seen where once I update the driver for the GPU, the settings go from "High" to "Very High" and I have to reset back to "High" because the latter causes lag in the game.
Sorry I can't be of more help. If none of this works, set aside, as before, copies of your Saves Tray and Mods folders and uninstall/reinstall the game and any additional paid content you may have bought.
This may take some time, as the base, any additional stuff and the patches will all load in whatever sequence the download sets.
But this ought to fix the issue. And as always, add your CC and mods gradually and check to see if it still runs.
Note: Scumbobo mods are usually pretty well done and shouldn't botch your game.
