Sims 4 Keeps Crashing on Startup

Once I hit the home screen I don't have any issues, I can play my saves without worrying about crashing. It only crashes at the plumbob loading screen when I first start up the game. It's kinda hard to explain, but like, let's say I just installed the game for the first time. I go in, play, everything's fine, and then I close out when I'm done. The next time I play, I decide to install some mods. I install the mods, go in the game, play, everything's fine, and then I close out when I'm done. So far so good. The next time I play, I launch the game, but it suddenly crashes before I hit the home screen.

I feel like it would be a mods/CC problem since that's the last thing I change before the crash, but removing the mods folder doesn't solve anything so I'm extra confused.
