@MinajSimmerr Could you check your Documents > Electronic Arts > saves folder for any mod related folders? Perhaps there may be other folders that retain mod-related data? Maybe check all your EA folders and move out anything that appears to be mod-related to your desktop before testing the game again.
Tried repairing & still no ): It is kind of weird though, I don't have wicked w***** or any mods installed, but when i open my household there are about six sims outside the house that are all named " w***** wh*ms do not remove".

@MinajSimmerr Ugh! It's terrible that the intro issue isn't fixed after all that. One friend did suggest that the sim could be corrupted somehow. Perhaps you could try saving the household to your library and then loading them in a mod-free save. When you save the household, they will keep all their money, skills, and levels when added to a new game but they won't keep inventory items or relationships outside of the household. It might be a good way to test if your save or your sim might be corrupted somehow, if your celebrity has the intro options in the new save. Before creating the new save, make sure all mods and mod-related folders are moved out of The Sims 4 folders. Also, you probably want to delete the localthumbcache file again.
As for those sims you mentioned ... there are certain features of that mod, when enabled, that create NPC sims to fill specific roles or may assign roles to existing sims. When the mod is removed, those roles no longer exist. I have no idea why they all show up at my sims' door like that though. However, it's possible that the game doesn't know what to do with these unfulfilled sims since their roles were removed, so they just spawn at your lot when loaded. I don't think it should have any impact on your game though. When it happens for me, they usually leave the lot fairly quickly. And, if you do create a new mod-free save, those roles (and rando NPCs) will never have existed.

Dang I was hoping I wouldn't have to make a new save ): But I appreciate your help so much!!! If you know, how does a sim become corrupted? Is there anyway I can avoid it next time?

@MinajSimmerr Unfortunately, I don't know specifically what might cause sims or saves to become corrupted. I think there could be a number of factors from unsupported mods/CC to conflicting mods to some random glitch in the code. One glitch that causes a last exception might be enough to corrupt something; some piece of code that failed for one reason or another. The only thing I can suggest to prepare for the potential is to make sure your game and mods are updated regularly. A lot of people turn off game updates until their mods are updated for each patch but eventually they should all be synched. Another preventive measure would be to regularly make backups of your saves so that if you do see a problem that you're not able to fix, you could try reverting to a backup before the problem started. The game does have a built in restore feature but that may not be sufficient, depending on the problems you're having.
Speaking of last exceptions, have you noticed any LE's popping up since you noticed the issue of not having the intro options? Sorry I didn't think to ask about that before now.
