Sims 4 Corrupted Save File

I've been having a reoccurring issue with my most recent save file. It has happened twice before and I was able to get my save file back by recovering it but that won't work now. Whenever I load up sims 4, it will give the option to play my last save, but instead of having my sim in the corner icon it is a white basic silhouette of a sim. When I load into the save it loads up and all the builds and lots are there but when I go into manage households there is nothing there. Nothing for my households and nothing for other households and there is nobody living in any of the lots, this is an issue happening in all of my recovered save files for this family I am trying to play with. I've spent a lot of time on this save and I really hope I will be able to recover where I left off. Oh, I have also disabled all mods and script files. Does anyone know what is wrong?

  • @Ollie136 Instead of only disabling mods, try this please:

    1. Drag your whole Sims 4 folder from Document > Electronic Arts to your desktop.
    2. Launch Sims 4 and reset your Options.
    3. Exit and copy files out of your old Saves folder into the new Saves folder. Important: Don't just copy the old folder! You want to use the newly created folders.
    4. Test to see if that cleared the issue
