Sims 4 Households and Build Mode not loading

I have not been able to play my game for some time now, i only seem to have access to CAS. Households don't load, the loading screen will come on and then it takes me back to the manage worlds screen. Also the same if trying to access build mode. What can I do to fix this? Already tried the repair option on the EA app, I deleted cashe folders on my sims 4 folder and recover safe file...yet still having the same issues and unable to play my game.

  • If you use mods or cc, try moving the mods folder to another place and then testing to see if the issue remains without mods/cc there.

    We can always make a mistake with mods. You have proved the problem is a mod so you can track down the problem mod by using the 50/50 method. There may be a post on site here how to do it, or you can google "50/50 method mods sims 4".  Also, when you add or remove mods from your game always remove the following files from your game folder:  avatarcache, onlinethumbnailcache, and localthumbcache. These file contain bits from your previous game play that should not be carried over of you are adding/removing mods. So try removing those first, and if you still have the problem, do the 50/50 method. It's tedious but usually works.
