Time/Sim freezes while environment still moves - May/ July 2025

The problem is that everything is reserved, the time, the sims. You can't click anything. The time stops around 11:19/21 pm. I tried to find the error by modifying Better Exceptions, which showed that it is supposedly a problem with the mod: "NateTheL0ser_towelsetscripting.py" - or something like that. However, I can't find it anywhere in the game files. There is only a mention of it in Lastexceptation. Chat gpt tried to help me but in vain. I will also add that I can't throw all the mods to the desktop, because I have some installed via curse forge and some manually, which would remove them from my game and not find them later (I had this situation before), so this method is out. I beg for help, I want to play on the same save and not lose it. I had to create a new one with previous sims once.

    Yeah I have checked everything already. 

    I couldn't reset the sims, it went on for the entire household. Sometimes only one Sim, sometimes more. Whenever I tried to reset them, it took a few minutes, then they stood there in T-Pose for 10 minutes more until I could reset them. It happened way too many times. 
    I think there was an error deep in that savefile. I moved the household to another, new save now, been playing for a few hours and it hasnt happened again. Sad it was the legacy file and the tree is gone, but at least the game/save runs fluid now after moving them into a new file.
