I've literally already done this three times, and removed mods that were broken. I've also repaired the game afterwards, and still have this problem. The repair game option has literally given me new Sims folders with files missing. Tonight I'm going to do this again, with no MODS in the game. And if I still have this issue, then what? And yes, one of the packs does have a CAFE lot trait. I wish I never updated and installed that new expansion pack as that's when all of the problems began.
Did you test in a new game as instructed? Broken mods can permanently damage a save.
