Sorry, I just saw this! I've done both, but after I update my game next I'll try again.

Coming back a few months later to say I thought I resolved the issue but it's back with a vengeance. I've tried everything but for now it seems the game is unplayable for me.

Hi @elijaahs . Please try this clean folder sequence:
- Exit Sims 4 then drag your whole Sims 4 folder from Document > Electronic Arts to your desktop.
- Launch Sims 4 and reset your Options.
- Start with New to test if your issue recurs.
If that works and you don't have invisible Sims and you can load and save:
- Exit and copy files out of your old Saves folder into the new Saves folder. Important: Don't just copy the old folder! You want to use the newly created folders.
- Launch Sims 4 and use Load to select an older save to test. If a save ended up corrupted, you might be able to still load a previous version of it.
If that works:
- Copy your old Tray files (this is your Library), Screenshots and Videos files.
- Before starting to add mods/CC back, check for Broken/Updated Mods . Because there were a lot for 1.103, also consider the Updated list in the previous Broken/Updated Mods list .
- Add mod/CC files into the new Mods folder in batches. This is a good time to look for duplicates and to organize your folder, but put each batch in its own subfolder or the main Mods folder to start, so you can tell where your problems are each time you open to test. Start with "core" and "injector" mods so that you have those in for the mods that rely on them. After a batch, check if you have the problem back; if you do, remove part of the batch and delete the localthumbcache file.
For some people, this is actually a good time to just restart fresh, though. I did this last year -- completely new save, complete restart on my Mods folder.
