Sims 4 december 5 update stuck manage worlds

Since the december 5 update, when I open the Sims I immediately get into manage worlds and when I try to play a family there's a loading screen but it brings me back to manage worlds. I tried closing and opening the game again, creating a new game, clearing cache, repairing the game, removing mods, but nothing works.

    Factory Reset

    Try the following

    • Close the game
    • Rename Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 to Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4_Old
    • 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
    • Close the game.
    • Copy back your save game from Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 to Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4_Old\saves to Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 to Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\saves
    • Check if you still have the error
    • Report back with your results for further steps on how to get your stuff back.

    OMG thank you it worked!! I also updated all my mods and put them in one by one to see if there was a problem with some of them but there wasn't. I am now able to play the game with my old saves and my cc/mods. Thank you so much!!
