hmdowling Please remove your saves folder from Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 and try to load the game. If it works, create a new save; no need to spend much time on it. Save your progress, quit, and move your old saves from the old folder to the new one. Make sure to renumber the newest save, that you just created, if it conflicts with one of your older saves.
Try again to load the game, and if you can get to the Main Menu, use Load Game to select an older save and play it. If the save is fine, you can continue playing it and save your progress; it may work again going forward.
If removing your saves folder doesn't help, please provide a dxdiag. Click Windows key-R, enter dxdiag in the run box, wait for the scan to finish, click "Save all information," and save the file to your desktop. From there, you can attach it to a reply using the paper clip (Attachment) icon included with the other formatting buttons.
