@mollynbella Please do this test:

  1. Make sure that your antivirus software is permitting access to the user folder
  2. Drag your whole Sims 4 folder from Document > Electronic Arts to your desktop.
  3. Launch Sims 4 and exit.
  4. Download a CC item (instead of using a file you've already tested). I usually pick a peacemaker furniture because I know I can trust it's working.
  5. Install that one single item in your new Mods folder
  6. Start the game, create a new save, and see if it works

    @mollynbella Having no CC can't stop you from creating a new save.

    Please try this, using these exact steps in this order:

    1. Go to Documents > Electronic Arts
    2. Rename the folder that's called The Sims 4
    3. Start the game
    4. Select "Load"

    Come back and tell me if the game and tell me these things:

    1. If the game behaved like you were launching it for the first time ever
    2. If there were any saves that could be loaded

      yes the game behaved like i was launching it for the first time ever. all my saves have gone. the problem is the game wont launch what so ever with cc in my mods folder. i have downloaded all new cc, its not a mod issue, its the game glitching. my friend's game launches as normal with all the same cc files as me.
