Re: [CC and Milestones, error code 110-578ef827] Stuck On Loading Screen Sims 4

So the update happened  - I took out all the mods out of my folder 

When I'm trying to load the previous household, the loading screen happens I hear music like the household is going to load and then the loading screen keeps going and going and going

ONCE I was able to get into this household yesterday and I'm not sure what I did to accomplish that but since then, I cannot load this one household. 

I tried the repair game option in Steam and verified the game - this one household (ALL SAVES OF IT) will not load. 

What else am I supposed to do? Worked before the update and now it doesn't

I find it hard to believe that all my saves are corrupted.

    Exact same issue. Loading screen loads, music plays - loading screen keeps loading indefinitely.

    and no custom content. 

    At one point, the household I was trying to get into let me do it once, and then when I exited, the indefinite loading screen

    cdkscully​ c6d90de81b5b1f49​ athorra​  Please open Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 and delete any lastexception files you see there.  Try again to load the affected household, or travel, and when you get stuck on the loading screen indefinitely, look for a new lastexception.  (You can close the game after a couple minutes.)  If you find one, open it, copy its text, and paste it into a reply here.

    Please (continue to) test with your Mods folder removed.

    Mine is now running after I added this mod:
    https://www.patreon.com/posts/mod-milestone-81237568

    That was one of the errors in the file. 

    I'm adding back my CC one at a time. 

    This was one of the Lastexception files:

    Was my previous response removed? 
    I posted the lastexception file and also the mod fix that helped.

    My new lastexception is this. I tried the mod suggested by cdkscully​ but didn't work for me.

    cdkscully​  Your post may have been caught by the spam filter.  It's back now.

    c6d90de81b5b1f49​  The error in your lastexception is also the milestone-related issue, so the mod should fix things for you as well.  Are you sure you enabled mods after adding this one? I ask because a couple other players who had this same error and thought the mod wasn't helping them have realized later they still had mods disabled.

    I did re-enable mods and restart the game. I will try re-downloading when I have time to fiddle with it, something else must have gone awry. Thanks for your help so far :)

    Ahhh Got it!

    So far that mod is working for me - my lastexception error had "milestone" in it so I searched for that. 

    Thank you though!
