Deleted from the saves? That's odd. But anyways, when I load up a new game and created sims without mods it would work. But um. Now when I create a new sim in a old save file EVERY HOUSEHOLD is the same sim and it won't still play. Then after a while it turns white and says not responding and goes back to the game. It didn't do that before.
Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199
After the renaming, I would repair the game through Origin
Then start a new game on the renamed folder and see if you have that issue still.
If not, try putting back your saves and use the recover function to recover one of the backup ones and see how it goes with that
