@nicoleflower888 This error is usually mods related, although you've removed yours. The more thorough reset is to use a clean folder. Move your entire Sims 4 user data folder out of Documents\Electronic Arts and onto your desktop, and when you launch the game, a clean folder will spawn with no content. Don't add anything to it yet; just start a new save and check out live and Build/Buy mods to make sure the game is working.
If it is, please copy your existing save into the clean folder. (Saves are located in the saves folder, unsurprisingly.) Copy and paste instead of dragging and dropping so you can experiment on the new copy and still have a backup if you need it. Leave your mods out though. Try to load the save, and let me know whether you see the same error.

@nicoleflower888 Sorry, I edited my post; I thought I was replying to someone else initially. Please read the edited version. If it doesn't help, you can copy your lastexception into a reply here, but please use a spoiler tag.

Ok so my game does work without my saves in it but as soon as I put them back in it stopped working again. It wont let me load the last exception file but this is what it exactly says

@nicoleflower888 Okay, try recovering a backup save:

If loading your main household still doesn't work, try loading a different household and let me know if any of them let you play.
If that doesn't help, have you been using mods that can't be removed without corrupting a save? There's one (very adult-themed) mod that I know of that will make saves unplayable without it, but others may have the same effect under certain conditions.
If you're not sure, that's fine, you can list the ones you have, other than any adult-themed mods. (Just list the creator and I'll know.). But please don't link any of them.
