Help me game is crashing/not loading :-(

lilpickle71​  Does this happen in a new save too?  I'm not saying you need to abandon your current save, only that this is a useful comparison.

If the new save is fine, try playing a different, previously-unplayed household in your main save, and let me know how it runs.

If the new save is affected too, 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.
