Sims Unable to Interact with Computer in Modded Game after Reaper Update

Product:The Sims 4

Platform: EA app/Mac OS
Which language are you playing the game in? English 
How often does the bug occur? Every time a sim tries to interact with a computer (CC and non-cc) in a modded game

What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Open to sharing a save file
What happens when the bug occurs? Sims are unable to interact with any computer, including after purchasing new computers, desks and chairs in modded game.
What do you expect to see? Options menu would appear when user clicks on the computer.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes, list provided below.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? 10/1 Reaper Rewards update

Hello! In order to participate in Reaper Rewards, I removed my mods and backed up/removed my modded saves, repaired my game, and started with a new user folder. This was successful in allowing me to complete the Rewards challenge following today's update (10/1/24), but when I reloaded my mods and save file following the updates, computers were broken in my modded save file.  Sims are unable to interact with the computer at all; I confirmed that computers are working in my unmodded save.

I know that this error has previously been associated with TMEX Better Pie Menus, so I did remove that and rule it out.  I also attempted to load into a copy of my modded save without script mods enabled and I got an infinite loading screen after selecting my household from the map... which was a little scary.  I am really, really hoping that the modded save is not broken forever, as it's a very well developed Joy of Life legacy.

Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Any suggestions?

    Thanks for the reply and support link @luthienrising!  I decided to systematically test with each subfolder in my mods, and replicated the issue when I added adeepindigo's. mods. I then removed the adeepindigo mods I am not currently using for gameplay, redownloaded the required files for the remaining modes to work, and when I reloaded, the bug was resolved!  Based on my method, it may have been the additional required files for the mods that I redownloaded, or an issue with one of the mods I decided to delete given my gameplay needs.

    In case it is helpful to anyone else, the mods I deleted were: 

    adeepindigo_gameplaymods_DynamicTeenLife_v2.6
    adeepindigo_gameplaymods_EducationOverhaul_v5.6_BG_EANoSetUniforms

    adeepindigo_gameplaymods_universityapplicationoverhaul.package

    The mods I updated were:

    adeepindigo_base_generalpiemenus_2023.01.20
    adeepindigo_customtuning_sharedtuning
    adeepindigo_gameplaymods_GoldenYears_v1.8
    adeepindigo_smalimods_ConnectedSims_v1.8
    adeepindigo_smallmods_SharedLibrary.ts4script
    Lumpinou_MoodPackMod_v1.674_July2024.package
    Zerbu Venue Changes

    All of my other mods have now been tested and my save is saved!
