@amora920 The fastest way to find out if the issue is a mod or cc item is to test without them, as in, move the entire Mods folder out of your Sims 4 folder and see whether the game loads. If it does, you'll need to test your mods and cc; the 50/50 method is the most efficient way.

If the game doesn't load even with no mods or cc, try moving the entire Sims 4 folder elsewhere, or renaming it, whichever you prefer. When you launch the game, if it launches, a clean folder will spawn with no content. Don't add anything to it until you've confirmed that you can play a new save; after that, you can start transferring files and testing.
If the clean folder doesn't help either, please post the method you used to move the game to your hard drive.
