No option to start or load household

I'm not sure if I am going insane but I cannot find the menu or option to click to load a game I was playing yesterday (and loaded yesterday after closing the program launch day) nor is there an option to start a new household. I have googled how-tos in starting a new one/loading an old one to see if I am just somehow incabable of finding the correct menu but obviously there isn't anything out there to help. Also I checked out a Lets Play to see where the menu is to start a new game and I don't have the button that was clicked to create a new household.

This is a screenshot of the "home" screen.

And here is the menu.

Help? Tell me I just haven't found the correct menu. I did click around in the gallery and saw the sim I had created but no way to enter into the game that I have with her. ☹️

I did try that and it didn't change anything.
However, I was successful in starting that challenge at the bottom and once I started a game, saved and selected "Exit to Main Menu," I got all the options to load a saved game or start a new one. I am in the progress of creating a new family to save as and then retart the game to see what has happened.
My game from yesterday was not listed under the Load Game option. Not sure if my game is just uncapable of saving a game or what.
