@nicoleflower888 Okay, try recovering a backup save:
https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2014/09/save-games/#wiederherstellen
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.

@nicoleflower888 Did you try loading a backup save? I don't mean playing a different save, I mean renaming the file from the second to last time you saved (or from the couple times before that) so that the game can read it. Please try the manual method described here:
https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2014/09/save-games/#wiederherstellen
It's possible though that you'll need to put at least some of your mods back in, that missing data from one of them is the reason this save won't load. You can copy your main save file and experiment on it in a clean Sims 4 folder, adding back in your mods a few at a time to see whether the save will load.
Even if this doesn't work, don't delete the save. There are some sporadic reports of people's saves being unplayable after the newest patch, and while we don't know why it's happening, it's possible this will be fixed in a future patch, or someone will figure out the problem and provide a workaround.
@BerberandImmy When you say you played another household, is that in the same save, or in a different one? If you haven't already, please try loading a different household within the same save. If it works, play that household for a few sim-hours, use "save as" to rename the save, quit, reload, and try to play your previously active household again.
If that doesn't work, try manually recovering a backup as described above. If that doesn't work either, the same applies to you too: don't delete your save, even if it's currently unplayable, because there might be a way to fix it.
I'm sorry I can't give a more definitive answer, but these crashes are still not well understood, and we really don't have a reliable way to get past them yet.
