@KatAnubis I had to take all my cc out, which is mostly new..new laptop, new cc..it worked after that but that's a bit disappointing as all of my other packs work fine with the cc. I did get the candles and license before putting my cc back.

@seaspiritnw The unfortunate thing about CC/Mods is that it often causes problems with new packs and updates. Mods are the worst, but occasionally CC does as well.
It's usually a specific package that is the problem. You say you don't have much, then it wouldn't be too difficult to figure out. The more CC/mods you have, the harder it is and the 50/50 method is recommended.
PugLove88 recommends this:
"1) Move the Mods Folder to your desktop
2) Delete localthumbcache.package file in the game folder.
3) Fix you game in Origin by logging in and go to Library, then right-click on The Sims 4 and choose the "Repair Game" option from the list. Wait until Origin finishes repairing all your packs and not just the base game.
4) Now, when you turn on your game again, it will create a new mods folder that will be empty. Check to see if your game is now working without mods/CC.
5) Now you can try adding back items from your Mods folder one at a time checking your game each time to see which item is causing your game to not work properly. If you have a lot of items, you can try the 50/50 Method. "
One of the important parts is the "delete the localthumbcache.package". You'll want to do that each time before you put a different mod/CC in so that the game doesn't "remember" the last ones you've tried.
And as SashasOnic mentioned, leaving broken mods/cc in your game may cause other problems that may make your game unplayable later on. It's best to sort out and remove what is causing even a small problem. Sometimes corruption in a game builds up until the save is ruined and not recoverable.
