    dreksteut1​  Please delete any lastexceptions you currently have in Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4.  Try again to load your main household and see whether you get a new LE.  If you do, please copy its text and paste it into a reply here.  I don't want a BetterExceptions report, just the raw file.

    Please continue to test with no mods or custom content at all.

dreksteut1​  One random possibility that comes to mind is, do your sims have any traits now that you've removed your mods and cc?  If not, that would cause the game to fail to load the household—each sim needs to have at least one trait.  The fix would be to add back enough cc traits so each sim has at least one, and of course use versions compatible with the current patch level.

If that's not the issue, please try loading the house in Build mode.  Use Load Game rather than Resume, and select the house on the Manage Worlds screen.  Let me know whether this works.

Please also try moving the sims to a different lot, either a blank one or a default EA-made house, and see whether you can load them there.  If not, split the household into individual sims, on various other lots, to find out whether the problem is limited to one of them.

    I found the solution!! Turns out it was one of my mods. It was the functional water bowl for dogs and cats mod. It didn't get picked up by any detectors. I tried the 50/50 method and it worked. Thanks anyways for the help you have given me!
