Initialization Error after Updates

OK.  In Steam, I deleted my expansion packs and it ran, but it coudn't run without the expansion packs.  It also brought up an old save that was previously completely deleted.  I reinstalled the expansion packs, but I'm getting weird error messages and all my work has been deleted.  Lots that were placed and characters created are all gone.  This is the second time it has deleted all my work.  I'll post photos of what I'm seeing to help.  This is what changed it's behavior:

This is what I first see, including the error message in the upper right corner and the weird WWWWWWs in the upper left.

When I click on Resume game, most of the worlds are missing as well as all the work I did.  My houses and characters are gone.  I exit back out without saving.
