crashing and infinite load screens, I got it all!

my main/favourite save won't load. 

it was the only save I had in my game for over a year, the only one I played. Me and this save survived the update last week (even with the 7k mods I have). Everything was playing fine so I decided to get in on the EA sale and get the Life and Death pack. I restarted the game and could load into a household okay, but saving or going to manage worlds gave me an infinite load screen. Then it developed to just getting infinite loading screens when trying to get further than the main menu, or I would get to the world maps but trying to select a household gave me the infinite load screen

I've been trying different troubleshooting things. Taking all of my mods out makes the game crash before I can get the main menu, so I can do even less without them

I could start a brand new save with all of the mods in it and it works pretty much perfectly. But I want to play my old save, it's got so much progress in it and challenges I'm working on 😫

    tisziny​  I would move the whole Mods folder to the desktop, launch the game to generate a new one, and only add mods to the new one that you know aren't from lumpinou and not related to pregnancy.  It's possible you have something related under another name, perhaps in a folder with other, unrelated mods, that you're not considering.  And other troubleshooting won't help if there's a bad mod hiding somewhere.

    Yes. In my Mods folder now, when I type in RPO, I get no results and when I type in lumpinou my only result is for the mood pack mod. But I'm still having no luck actually loading into a household

    tisziny​  Do you get the infinite loading screens with all RPO-related content removed?

    Please also make sure you don't have anything related to the mod hiding in another subfolder.

    I deleted what I had related to the RPO, checked that its compatible with the new update, which it is, so I downloaded it again (a fresh copy) but I'm still getting my infinite loading screens

    tisziny​  You did do it correctly, and it looks like Lumpinou's Realistic Pregnancy Overhaul is the issue, or some part of the mod.  So please delete this mod and anything related to it, and download a fresh copy.  Make sure it's said to be compatible with the newest patch level (1.114), AND that you also install any other required mods or resources.

    tisziny​  Please open Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 and delete any lastexception files you see.  Try again to load your save, and when you get an infinite loading screen, look for a new LE.  If you find one, open it and delete the first line of text, then attach it to a reply here using the paper clip (Attachment) icon.  Deleting the first line of text is necessary to allow the upload.
