Can't play households new patch

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.
