    Okay so I’ve finally figured it out and found a solution after spending so much time updating all of my script mods and testing which ones work and don’t work, using the 50/50 method.

     

    I found that the cause of the problem when loading a household and it bouncing me back to the World Map was due to script mod. The reason why the script mod was causing this issue is because it could not find my GameVersion.txt file as I accidentally deleted it from ‘The Sims 4’ folder in Documents\Electronic Arts.

     

    Once I added the GameVersion.txt file back into the folder, it loaded successfully. 🙂

@KashmirG2002  That's good news, and yes, it's possible you only needed a clean folder.  You can add all your mods back as an experiment, and it's possible they'll all work.  If they don't though, try the 50/50 method: in this case, remove half the mods and test; if they're fine, add back half the ones you removed and test.  If your save stops working again, remove half the ones you just added and test again.  This is a lot faster than adding mods back individually or in small groups, although of course you can test that way instead if you're more comfortable.
