Endless loading screens
every time i open the game i either can’t get past the first loading screen, or i can get to manage worlds but as soon as i go to play a household i get stuck on that loading screen and i have to fully shut off my computer to exit the game as it doesn’t allow me to access anything besides the loading screen.

For anything not on that list, you'll need to test yourself. If you have a lot of files to go through, the 50/50 method can make the process much more efficient.

After that, you can move your saves to the new Sims 4 folder that's spawned in Documents > Electronic Arts. You'll likely want the contents of Tray (saved households and builds) as well, plus maybe Screenshots and Recorded Videos. The accountDataDB.package contains login reward data; transfer UserSetting.ini too if you don't see the rewards. (There have been some issues with data migration.) The rest can be discarded.
