@Brii0423 Yes of course. Here is a link with a detailed description:

Follow that. Do the Repair in Origin efter having renamed your original folder and before starting the game again.
Let me know if I need to explain it differently, english is not my first language 🙂
This didn’t work either, I might have to go through my Mods to find the problem

@Brii0423 What I took from the first blog post I linked, was that sims that are reset (like you described, stop what they are doing, and very suddenly); is a old problem in the game, and that EA are aware and working on it. The blog is continually updated, so while the post may be old, I still see the info as valid.
Creating a new folder with nothing in it will exclude your mods as an explanation to the issue.I could not access your pictures you attached before, and now that I can, I have a problem seeing what they say, they are too small. But it looks like they are a message from TwistedMexi's mod Better Exceptions, so you might want to ask at their page about them. You can also upload the LastExceptions.text files here. You find them in the Sims 4 folder. Just copy/paste under a spoiler. I do not promise I can understand them, but I will try. 🙂

Not sure why but the last exception file won't upload. I was thinking at first was it a problem with Sim because this did happen after a recent update from them.

@Brii0423 Yes, I don't think it is possible to upload the LE's. But you can copy the text itself and paste it, as if a regular post. If it is long, put it under a spoiler.
If problem arises after a game update, you are right, it is likely mods and CC. But if you try in a new folder, in a completely new save, without putting anything back from your old one, and the problem still occurs, then it's likely something else. So you could try to do that again, following the description in the second link posted above. Don't put back your files from your old The Sims 4 folder until you have tested in a new save.
You can use the 50/50 method to figure out which mod could be the problem. Here is a very detailed guide, but the idea is pretty simple, just dividing your mods and CC in half, testing each batch until you have a problem, and then continue that, to narrow it down more and more:
