Error Code: Relaunch Game over and over??

Hey all, quick question. My game (played on PC) has consistently shown me the Relaunch Game error code every time I start a new game, try to reload a save, etc. I have mods installed, but I used Better Exceptions and deleted all the mods that were buggy/causing crashes. The only mod causing trouble had only a 30% chance of causing issues, and the others were 100%. I've started new saves with new Sims, started new saves with Sims from other saves that I saved to the gallery, etc. My game and the EA app are up to date, as are the main mods I use. I have well under the "max" amount of scripts and have updated outdated mods to their current versions. When I get the game to load (occasionally), the Sims are invisible. It doesn't show the usual aspirations, Sim/household members (literally not showing up), and I can't select anything. CAS and build mode work fine and do not crash. I've also repeatedly repaired the game, updated the app, tried playing offline, and basically every other fix people have thrown out there. Please help, I just bought the Life & Death EP and I really want to play it the day it comes out without the game freaking out 😢

UPDATE:

As of 11/14/24, my game is fixed!! It's actually been fixed for a minute but I forgot to update this post lol. Basically, I updated MCCC and a few other small mods (and deleted/updated broken ones) and that fixed it! I had to use "save as" instead of the regular save/save and exit option but I tested it with just save and just save and exit and both work now! The minor game update also helped!

    @luthienrising I just checked the game without mods and worked! I don't have any of the mods listed in that thread. I did have TOOL and XML injector but I fully deleted them since I don't use them anyway. I have no idea why the game doesn't work when I re-enable them, though :/

    Update: I was able to play for a short time without issues!! I updated MCCC and BE and deleted the old/outdated versions. I tried to save when I was done playing but it went into the eternal save screen again, and my Sim was moving around for some reason even though it was stuck on whatever in-game time I was trying to save on. I had to do a cold shut-down of my PC; I couldn’t even use the alt-tab quit game trick.

    @simmerrogue Are you playing with only those mods, or do you have any mods that are neither updated nor confirmed compatible with the game?

    If you play in a different household or save, do you have issues? If you play with no mods at all?
