    So for future reference for anyone else having the same issue, I removed my Sims 4 folder to my desktop, played the game so it generated a new folder and moved back my saves folder and Mod folder.

    HOWEVER, there was something in my Mod folder that was causing it to crash. After going through all my CC to find the culprit, I found out it must have been my OLD Resource.cfg in my mods folder causing the issue as all my CC were running fine.

    -When the game regenerates a new sims 4 folder, a new Mods folder appears. Move all your CC into the NEW Mod folder (Do not drag your copied Mod folder into it) - deleting the old Resource.cfg file thats left.

    Just move everything into a fresh new Mod folder!

    So it's most likely the Resource.cfg file causing the problem!

    Hope this makes sense.

Yes, once your game runs fine again. You can then move our saved games back into the folder.
