Infinite loading screen w/ specific household after cas

Title says it all. I enter cas with the cheat 'fulleditmode' enabled. This seems to break the household. I remove all mods, play backup saves, repair game, restart computer, etc. etc. and the household continues to get stuck in the infinite loading screen whenever I try and open said household. BE creates an exception in code but not the official exception. I have the notepad files I can share but not the website things. 

P.S. I'm autistic. I need very specific instructions. Be so detailed that a golden retriever could follow the directions. 

Also I swear to god if the first comment is 'remove all mods and try loading' I will actually scream

  • Jaydeh  Please remove all mods while we're troubleshooting here.  I understand if you think mods aren't the problem and/or you wouldn't play without them, but from my side of things, I need to know that there aren't any more complicating factors involved in the process.

    Please delete all lastexception files you have in Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4.  Try again to enter CAS with this household and see whether you get a new LE.  If you do, please attach it to a reply here.  You can leave it as a .txt file, but you'll need to delete its first line.  You can open the file with Notepad.

    Please also let me know whether you can load a different household in CAS.

    Hi! I know I'm not the original poster, but I keep running into the same issue and it only happens with one specific sim; all other households can be opened in live mode and played with perfectly fine. But  I can't enter live mode with that specific sim. If I try moving him into a household that I know works, then I get stuck on an infinite loading screen trying to enter live mode with them, too. I have tried this without any mods present whatsoever: same issue still occurring. I even tried moving this sim to different lots and worlds within the game, but none of it made a difference.

    Also: this happened on a clean save, too. I deleted the original save where loading screens kept crashing and created an entirely new one. But bringing this sim in from my gallery, the same issue is still present. I have tried making new saves of him in my gallery, too.

    Any help would be appreciated!
