Game won't save/lots won't load/bunny won't die?

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.77.146.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Every expansion, game packs 1-8 and 10, and stuff packs 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, 20, 22
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? honestly no idea
What happens when the bug occurs? I play my game for a bit and then suddenly it stops letting me load any lot. The first time it happened, I had gone into CAS and instead of bringing me back to my household it took me to the neighborhood screen. I exited the game and went back in to see it hadn't saved any of my progress, even though I had saved before the glitch. The second time I had gone to the fair and then when I went back home it just took me to the neighborhood screen instead. Any time I tried to load a lot it would just take me back to the neighborhood screen. I tried to see if it was a broken mod but nothing appeared to be broken. I played again and it was fine for a bit, then started happening again. It just refuses to load any lot and the game also will not save.
What do you expect to see? I should be able to load lots and save my game
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? No

I posted in the MCCC discord server and they told me it was an issue with better exceptions. So then I went to their server and someone told me that it looks like there's an issue with a bunny that won't die. I had the evil chicken who attacked Grim and wouldn't let him do anything. It was going on and on so I turned off that feature, Grim took a chicken and left. I'm not sure if that triggered the issue with the bunny. I don't even know where the bunny is. I included my lastexception file. I feel like I'm just going back and forth trying to solve this.

ETA: I have a video of the glitch but it won't let me add it https://imgur.com/5BYhPih

  • @toxxicsims Do you just have issues with this save ?

    To be sure, you tested without any mods installed as well and deleted the localthumbcache file ?

    I know I deleted my cache but I didn't try without any mods because then my sims would have had all their CC removed. However since this just randomly started happening I didn't think it was CC. When I posted my last exception file in the discord someone found a part in the code and said the issues were likely a game bug because a bunny was trying to die.

    I didn't even think to try a different save. However I just went back in and didn't have any issues loading lots or saving. So I don't know if the issue resolved itself or if it just didn't happen that time. I'm taking my laptop in today to get my hard drive upgraded so it may be a day or two before I can do more testing.

    @toxxicsims There are several threads where loading wasn't possible but loading another lot solved the problem. So maybe getting rid of the bunny solved the issue for you but needed a restart to properly take.
