Sims4 not loading household.

So this is my last resort my sims 4 has been acting weird latley and I have no idea why.

So heres my backstory. I use cc and script mods and i wanted to try out poses and new skins. my game didn't like that and was stuck on the loading screen and not responding. I deleted those mods and thats when my game really stopped working. My game loaded up fine and all my cc was there. CAS worked like a charm and so did build mode. But whenever I try to load up a household it shows a flashing blue icon even with the household without cc (you know the households from maxis).

it shows this error whenever i try to play a household

Ive tried everything from repairing, reinstalling my game, adding cc back one by one, nothing has worked

anyways stream back to the cave and pray that my game will work again

    Step 1. Rename The Sims4 folder to "The Sims4 old"
    Step 2. Fix the game in Origin
    Origin/Library - right click on TS4 - option "Repair game"
    You have to wait until Origin will fix all packs, not only the base game.
    Step 3. Turn on the game - a new game folder will be created and you will have two - one old, one new
    Step 4. Check if you still have this problem in the newly created game folder. Start a new game with random sim and play for 10 minutes.
    If the problem disappeared
    Step 5. Delete in the new game folder following folders:
    "saves" and Tray.
    Step 6. Go to "The Sims 4 old" folder and copy - your "saves " folder.
    Step. 7, Paste this folder in a newly created game folder.
    Step 8. Do the same with Tray folder and TrayDeleteItems file
    Step 9. Check if there are newly updated version mods you are using.
    Then copy and paste your mods and CC from old mods folder to the new one. First copy the scripts mods every time checking if the game is working properly. If you have a lot of CC try 50/50 method ( divide your CC into smaller batches for example 50 pieces in one subfolder and check these subfolders one by one)
    Step. 10. If all is OK - delete The Sims4 old folder. Now you will have only one game folder working properly.
