jmblibra To be clear, if you start a new save, you can play for a while on the home lot, but if your sims travel and try to go back home, you also get stuck on a loading screen? That would be very odd. I can see how your main save would have this problem, but a new save shouldn't if you can load the home lot in the first place, when you first start to play.
Having said that, if you're placing an existing lot from the Gallery or your own library, please test with a default EA-made lot instead. And let me know whether this happens with your Mods folder removed. I'm not saying you can't use mods or custom content in general, but it would be useful to know whether a new save is affected without this content.
I'd also like to see lastexception files from when you get stuck on a loading screen in both your old and new saves. Here's how to provide them:
