Infinite Loading Screen

My first thought would be to remove your mods and do a game repair and then try to load your game again. I know you said the mods were updated but I have no idea what a game repair would do to them so that would be my suggestion. Also, sounds like you have been away for a while and you mentioned traveling too. Are you using a laptop that is capable of handling this game? A good rule of thumb is if your machine is five years old it's getting to be considered vintage and after seven years obsolete. Not saying it can't work, but a lot changes with OS updates, game updates and hardware like a video card could definitely be struggling and be a factor in things like this. Plenty of people are able to make their machine go a long time and keep it clean. So not saying that is your issue, just throwing it out there. 

Sorry, when I mentioned traveling I meant my Sims traveling.  I guess last time I played I took them to a snow resort of some sort so it loads into the snow resort then breaks when I send them home.  I'm on a PC.

THANK YOU! I think this solved my issue, finally was able to load into my household.  Not sure how I'll be able to pick up which CC for CAS and Build and Buy is broken, but in the meantime I'll play on DirectX9 since I never had issue with lag anyway.
