@Simfriend68 Unfortunately, you may have to reinstall.

Step 1. Name your The Sims 4 folder in Documents\Electronic Arts to The Sims 4 Old.
Step 2: Uninstall the game.
Step 3: Install the game.
Step 4: Repair your game if there is an option.
Step 5: Test your game without the old save.
Step 6: Add your old save back and enjoy.
