I have restarted my game, looked up videos on YouTube to help get it working, unplugged everything and plugged them back in, and even uninstalled the game and reinstalled it.......I'm out of ideas.
check through the Task Manager if any Sims 4 processes are still running as background, you can safely "kill" them manually unless the game is stuck at the save. Normally the processes should stop but due to Windows architecture sometimes it keeps running. Re-boot helps in 99% cases. Advice: don't rely too much on MCCC auto-save, do this manually as often as possible
