Sims 4 endlessly stuck on loading screen

I am trying to play for 3 days but my game is stuck on the loading screen.

This happens after I click on Resume game.

I manage to load the world I was playing in, but when I choose my household it starts to load endlessly. 

I use a Mac and I tried every troubleshoot I found here. Uninstalling the whole game+packs and install again. Move the mods files out and play the game. Create a new Game and play. I also tried to use the same saved game and used a different household. To move into a different household and also to delete the household that gave me the problem first and Create a new sim,  moving into the same lot and also a different lot.

Needless to say yesterday I wasted a full day on trying to fix it. But none of this worked. And I really don't want to start a new game because I Built every lot spending a lot of time and passion, and I really wouldn't want to lose all my builds. 

What should I do next? Thanks.

    There's further troubleshooting you should try:

    Move/rename the Sims 4 folder in Documents > Electronic Arts then launch the game. Quit at the main menu, don't bother saving. A new Sims 4 folder will have been created in the Electronic Arts folder. COPY the save that has the problem household from the Sims 4 > saves folder you moved/renamed to the newly created Sims 4 > saves folder.

    Do you have the same problem?

    I do actually. 

    I just gave up and started a new game really. I am manually saving the lots the gallery and placing them one by one to the new save.

    It's going to be hard work but It's definitively the best solution to be able to at least play.

    I thank you very much nonetheless. Even if it didn't work I appreciate you trying to help! :D
