Can't cancel event after trying to have a party at "generic lot"

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Occasionally (10% - 49%)
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All expansions, dine out, parenthood, movie stuff, romantic garden and vintage glamour
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Bu picking the "generic house" option when hosting a house party
What happens when the bug occurs? I planned the party some days in advance with the new calendar. When the time of the party came, I was turned to map view and could not click a location. I tried to press play on my current household but then the game crashed. I tried to fix it but now I can't cancel the event.
What do you expect to see? I expected the game to load unto a lot, kinda like in Get to work with the police career.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. I installed seasons/the new patch

Okay so what had happened was that I had planned a party some days in advance, I picked this generic lot that came up because my sims live in a small apartment and I wanted a bigger party. I have attached a file below with a screenshot of this "generic home". Anyways when the day came, I said yes to starting the event and it took me to the loading screen, but then instead of taking me to a lot it just took me to map view, I clicked on "play" with my household but then the game just crashed. I reloaded the game and when I went hover over my sims in edit world where it says the location instead of "At home" it just said "At". I then tried to get them home, by playing my neighbours and getting them to their lot, this worked but all the sims that I had invited were also set to "At". I have now all invited them to the same lot as me, but now I can't cancel the event. I don't want it to happen again in fear of it turning into some weird loop. 

I have CC and mods, I took them out but I still couldn't cancel the event. 

If anyone knows how to fix this, help would be very much appreciated.

  •  Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199

    You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files  and make a backup.

    After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin.

    Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.

    • Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
    • Tray Folder
    • Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
    • Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave and no longer needed - if you still have it)
    • Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
    • Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)

    The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.
