My lots all load empty? Please help

Hi all, 

So since the last update to the game all my lots laod empty. All my families are still in tact but whenever I load up a lot it comes up as empty, same thing happens on back ups and community lots. 

My computer hardware isnt the issue and my game is up to date, I do use a.small amount of cc but I've run the game without cc and the issue still occurs

Uninstalling, restarting ect doesnt work

    Step 1. Rename The Sims4 folder to "The Sims4 old"
    Step 2. Fix the game in Origin
    Origin/Library - right-click on TS4 - option "Repair game"
    You have to wait until Origin will fix all packs, not only the base game.
    Step 3. Turn on the game - a new game folder will be created and you will have two - one old, one new
    Step 4. Check if you still have this problem in the newly created game folder. Start a new game with a random sim and play for 10 minutes. Save and check if this problem disappeared in the new game
    If yes
    Step 5. Delete in the new game folder following folders:
    "saves" and Tray.
    Step 6. Go to "The Sims 4 old" folder and copy - your "saves " folder.
    Step. 7, Paste this folder in a newly created game folder.
    Step 8. Do the same with Tray folder and TrayDeleteItems file
    Step 9. Check if there are newly updated version mods you are using.
    Then copy and paste your mods and CC from old mods folder to the new one. First copy the scripts mods every time checking if the game is working properly. If you have a lot of CC try 50/50 method ( divide your CC into smaller batches for example 50 pieces in one subfolder and check these subfolders one by one)
    Step. 10. If all is OK - delete The Sims4 old folder.
