My Sims 4 game keeps crashing before the main menu opens

As the title states, I am unable to load the game beyond the plumbob loading screen prior to the main menu (The one where I can select a new game, to load my game, so on so forth- just to clarify!). ...

    YeeFxckingHaw​  Please remove your saves folder from Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 and try to load the game.  If it works, create a new save; no need to spend much time on it.  Save your progress, quit, and move your old saves from the old folder to the new one.  Make sure to renumber the newest save, that you just created, if it conflicts with one of your older saves.

    Try again to load the game, and if you can get to the Main Menu, use Load Game to select an older save and play it.  If the save is fine, you can continue playing it and save your progress; it may work again going forward.

I tried everything and it is still failed to load. My game crashes with my old save files even when i did everything i saw. Nothing helped me, and i am stuck. My mods didn't even show up when i got into the main menu with the new save file.

    Guys it worked for me only when i did this specific thing : 
    1. You remove your saves
    2. Load the game again and play a little until it creates a new save, change the end to another number so that it won't be the same as any of your olders saves
    3. Activate the CC in the settings ! Usually when there is an update it tells you that your cc where deactivated and that you need to activate them again the settings. You just have to do this.
    4. Put your saves again in the folder
    5. Load the game again, play your save and it should work !
