Certain Households Not loading- Stuck on loading screen

Hi. I know there are a ton of post with this title, but i think my situation is a tad different so i will try to be as detailed as possible. I am having trouble with certain lots loading. My game will boot up but when i click on certain lots, i get stuck on the loading screen. I do use CC and mods. But the thing is, this problem has seem to come out of nowhere. I haven't downloaded  any new build cc recently so im not understanding why im running into this issue. I batched fix my builds folder several times and that has caused more problems than anything. Now its even more lots that i cant get into.  I have taken my builds folder out and i am able to access these lots, but i need to know if its my save thats corrupted? Can batch fixing multiple times cause problems? I am a PC user on windows 10. Please let me know as i do not want to erase all my mods just to come across the same problem again.

    Also, is there a way for me to start a new save but still keep my sims. The sims are all i care about. I can cheat the relationships etc etc..

    @simliciouss1 @simliciouss1 A few questions:

    Did it start happening after an update?
    The lots in question: does a family live there?
    The lots in question: are they all CC lots?
    Do you constantly have moveobjects enabled?
    Do you use TOOL?

    You might be able to keep the save, but saving your sims to your library and putting them in a new save is always an option. They will lose relationships outside of the household and their money though.

    No, I havent updated my game yet. The version I have is from the update that happened before the one today (hope that makes sense) 

    Yes a family lives there, but i had to mccc them into another household and when i try to access the lot when no one lives there.. i still get the endless loading screen. and yes i do have move objects always on, thanks to MCCC, so i dont have to remember to turn on it on when im placing lots and not i do not use the TOOL mod. Is my save corrupted? How can I tell? Thanks for speedy reply.

    @simliciouss1 Thing is, this issue of not being able to load lots (where a family lives) is something I ran into quite a few times already. Usually it's fairly easily fixed by evicting the household and moving them (or another family) back. Haven't had it happen before that the player 'moved out' the household using a mod though... 🙂

    I do think you may have corrupted some of the lots (not the save per se, but the lots) by trying to fix them. If evicting/moving in does not work to be able to reload the build, try replacing the build with a different lot, then moving the family back in. See if it then becomes loadable 🙂

    Yea, I'd load another household and invite my sims from the corrupted lot over and use MCCC to "Add to Family". lol i will try your suggestion and report back. How did this happen? Because my moveobjects is always on?

    wait, i think i tried that, but i am unable to replace the lot from the world view and i can not access the lot and go in and change.

    @simliciouss1what happens when you try to replace the lot from manage worlds?

    edit: after you've evicted the family of course 🙂

    I don't have that option? The only thing I see is 'Build" and create a household to move into that same lot.

    @simliciouss1 ohhh okay, no, just pick a lot from your library or gallery, click the "place lot" button on that one and then pick any lot you want to place it on 🙂

    So i replaced the lot and im able to get into that specific lot. Do I go back in the gallery and replace again with the lot i had before? Did this happen because I was batch fixing while the lot was paced or the moveobjects?
