    @Zyirah Try a clean folder and new save:

    • Exit Sims 4 then drag your whole Sims 4 folder from Document > Electronic Arts to your desktop.
    • Launch Sims 4 and reset your Options.
    • Select "New" (assuming you got this far) to make sure that also works
    • Exit and copy your save files from out of the old folder into the new fodler
    • Launch Sims 4 and see if you can use "Load" to access your previous file.
    • If you can't load your previous save, then your save itself has the issue.
    • If you can load it, then you can start testing your mods and CC in batches. I recommend doing this in a new test save.

    Hi!

    I lost all my saves when I changed hard drives, so I have to start fresh, but so far this is the first that it's launched with the cc/mods enabled. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
