Can't play households new patch
Since the new patch came out earlier today I have not been able to play any of the sim households. I will click on the play button to open the household, it will load for a while then take me back to...

Have you tried to load a new game with all your mods disabled? That will tell you if it's a mods thing or if your game installation is messed up.
Make sure you delete the localthumbcache.package file as well after removing the mods. Always do that step every time you update mods or add/remove mods.
If the game is still messed up after troubleshooting your mods, then do a file check on the game.
im having the same issue. how do you do a file check?
I ended up just splitting my mod folder in half and manually going through each file. I got rid of all script file mods and anything that went with them. I updated everything that had an available update. It's tedious and time-consuming but after that, I put all my mods back together and started the game. I was able to go into a household and everything was updated in CAS and build mode. But, now when I go into a household all of my sims are gone. It only happens when I go into live mode with any sim. I think this might be the bug everyone was talking about saying it essentially killed all their sims. If you are able to get into your households I recommend testing it on a new save file or with townies so you do not lose your sims, also don't save while in-game so you can just exit in case your sims disappear. Sorry if this is confusing but it's the way I found it to work.

Should be an option in the Origin app.
Though sounds like your issue will turn out similar to OP's issue - some mod you have installed is messed up and will need to be updated.
Go through your mods list and update all that have been updated -

Remove any mods that are broken but haven't yet been updated.
Make sure you delete the localthumbcache.package file after updating your mods (or removing/adding mods).
