@puzzlezaddictI don't know that loading a different household will make a difference. For my part, I even tried starting a brand new save, and it just got stuck on the loading screen. And I did not have anything in the ConfigOverride folder.
@VioletKitty411 I'll be around whenever you're able to test again.
@posherlockian5 As a test, please try playing in a clean user folder. Move the entire Sims 4 folder out of Documents > Electronic Arts and onto your desktop, and when you launch the game, if it launches, a clean folder will spawn with no content. (Your saves and other content will be intact in the folder you moved but temporarily not read by the game.) Don't add anything to the new folder yet; just let me know whether you can get far enough to start a new save and play in live mode for a bit.
If that doesn't help, please run a dxdiag and attach it to a post.
