Infinite loading screen (DxDiag attached)

@puzzlezaddictI see what you're saying about you testing my saves, as I do own all of the packs,etc. and I'm not sure how many are used in my saves/my kids' saves.

Yes, I realize that you were explaining why about the CyberPower thing, I hope my tone didn't come off any kind of way. I'm just trying to give all the details to you I can so that we can determine what's really going on.

Yes, in my OP I stated that my saves aren't loading, but I neglected to mention that I can start a new game. That was my mistake for not saying that outright, I'm sorry.

I am unsure of whether or not my sim has custom traits (I'm not sure what custom traits are, either, sorry). I actually was able to load my kids' old saves. So now it is just *my* old save that now will not load.

As far as the file sizes of the saves are concerned, this is what I have:

Slot_00000002.save at 8,211 KB <-----My save that will not load
Slot_00000003.save at 6,925 KB <-----Kid save, loads fine
Slot_00000004.save at 4,131 KB <-----Kid save, loads fine
Slot_00000006.save at 3,691 KB <-----Kid save, loads fine
Slot_00000007.save at 5,088 KB <-----My save (different sim), loads fine

As I said in my OP, when I go to "Load Game" and choose my old save file, I am stuck on the plumbob loading screen. Usually a game will take only a few seconds to load through the plumbob screen. If it takes more than 2 minutes I know something is wrong. That being said, I've let the plumbob screen run for 10+ minutes just to see what, if anything, happens, and nothing happens. Ergo, this forum. ☹️

I have never used CC or mods with my games because I was always worried about something like this happening. I have read tons of posts over the years from other simmers whose games stopped working and found out it was because some CC or mod didn't get updated with the game patches and caused their games to not work. I have kept that in mind over the years and so the only content I use is the content that comes with the GPs, EPs, etc. that I buy. I have all the packs, so I really want for nothing as far as content goes. No need for CC. 🙂

@puzzlezaddict  Honestly, at this point, if all the other old saves are loading and it's just my one old save that isn't, I'm not worried about it anymore. I appreciate your help and concern, but I'm pretty much ready to give up on this save. I'm sad about giving up on it, but it must be done. Thank you for all of your help! Cheers!
