The weirdest thing happened, it just got fixed on its own, after I shut down the PC yesterday.
The only thing I did was change my PC name while in the game. Maybe it has something to do with it, idk.

@AshkPunk  That is... odd.  What are the old and new PC names, and what process did you use to change it?

    This is exactly how it happened: (Windows 11)
    Power on the PC (after yesterday, not being able to play at all) > Run the Dxdiag (save it on desktop) > Launch Sims 4 from Steam (default settings) > Loading Screen > Alt + Tab (I open and notice in the Dxdiag.txt that I didn't change my PC name) > Right Click on Desktop (go to Personalize and then the System from the side menu) > Change the System Product Name (From Default to Punk) > Go back to the game > Fixed now.
    It was probably because of the system shutdown; You can try and delete the Doc files and Shut Down the PC and see if it works.
