Sim 4 Infiniate blue loading screen. No end in sight. Please send help.

This has been happening since at least 12/13/25 according to my last save. That date is now ingrained in my head.

Problem: when loading up my sims i press resume and it leads to blue screen. If i pick load save and then play, it loads to blue screen. Sometimes i will hear the sound queue that the game has loaded but it infect has not and im stuck on the same screen.

Factors: No CC or mods anymore. removed it during the 50/50 method before i tried with no mods and issue persisted. Was in the middle of a vacation with sims during my last save.

Attempted and failed fixes:

-Removing CC and mods.

-Clearing localthumbcache.package.

-Clearing EA app cache.

-Moving the Household.

-Repairing the game.

-Change Driver x thingy to 9.

 

I am losing my mind and about to find a dupe for this game. Help me before i go completely insane. I beg you. I have over 6000 hours and a generation challenge that i'm in gen 3 for. I have so much time and money into a game I cant even play.

cc or mods removed
corrupted save
crashing
custom content (cc)
downloads
ea app
hardware
install language
launching
mods

    sammiejewel2000​  To make sure the issue is the save and not the game overall, please try loading a new save.  If it works, save your progress, quit, restart your computer, and try again to load the new save.  If you have issues with it (the first time or the second), stop here and let me know.

    If the new save is fine, try loading a different household within your main save, just to see whether it works.  If it does, you can play that other household for a few sim-hours and then try to go back to your main one.

    You can also try recovering a backup version of the main save:
