I'm extremely sad right now due to the fact I've tried everything. I've tried re-installing the game (which made me lose all of my progress) , I've tried updating & repairing my game, and i've even looked through all of my cc in the mod folder. when I was looking through my mod folder, I came across the following file that was corrupting my game. after spotting the file, i immideatly dragged it to my trash can. and just incase you were wondering, I'm on a macbook. I'm really looking forward to anyone that is able to help me at the moment because I'm very upset about this issue. if you could help, thanks. :/
If you have removed the file lizardtraitFunkyFurryBowtiesSmallDogs.package try deleting the localthumbcache.package and all of the contents of your cache folder and then repair your game.
Note: Always remove these folders when making changes to your game or re-installing: Mods, Save, and Tray
If you have made videos of your Sims or taken Screenshots you will also want to remove those folders
