@celestlaHiya 🙂
Did you do these things first?
EA APP \ repair
Delete thumbcache
start new game and test SIM
Did you do try a clean ( mod free with clean thumbcache ) game?
*Mods do not need to be deleted, just removed from interfering to be clean game *
Check for broken mods via the list here under pinned above.

Check on DISCORD on Deaderpool's channel for a comparison broken mods list if you use a wider genre of mods.
Update all core mods as needed.
If you have removed mods already... delete the thumbcache and using EA APP do a repair.
If still not working correctly... you need to remove all mods / trays / saves to desktop or rename them (see below ) then delete the thumbcache again, repair again and start a new game with a new test sim.
Then you can add mods back 50 / 50 until you find a culprit.
Then your trays and saves.
OR
~Close the game
Rename Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 to Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4_Old
Repair the game
Start the game. All your content will be gone now as the game created a new folder. All your saves/.. is still in the old folder so not to worry
Start a new save game
Check if you still have the error
Report back with your results for further steps on how to get your stuff back.~ quote from crinrict- crinrict2 years agoHero+@celestla Are you using mods/cc ?
