Sims 4 freezes on loading screen for certain sim on certain lot

Game has been running fine till all of a sudden the game crashes. I was able to load my saved file but it freezes on the loading screen when loading my main household. I have no mods and no CC. Testing has confirmed the following.

Crash only happens on my main sim on my main lot. Moving main sim to new lot allows me to load the main sim. Adding a new sim to family with my main sim still results in freeze. I can enter build mode without issues. I can load main lot with another sim that not my main sim.

EDIT: Game loads but after a really long time on loading screen when tested with second sim added to main household.

    I was able to get it working after getting it to load after quite some time. I gave it some time in game and saved it after a in game day and then saved and closed. It loaded back in normally. It seemed to just be that moment in time with that sim in that house that was the cause. Odd.

    Looks like this sim file is damaged. Maybe save him to the library and start a new game with him to check if in the new save you will have the same trouble with him. "Save as" this game - so you will be able to delete this new save.
    This way below may not help in this situation, but you can try it.

    Go to your game folder /user/Library/Documents /Electronic Arts - inside will be The Sims4 folder.
    Find the file localthumbcache.package - and delete it. Don't be afraid. The game will create a new one but without saved errors.
    Next, go to the Origin and fix the game,
    Origin/Library - right click on TS4 - option "Repair game"
    You have to wait until Origin will fix all packs, not only the base game.

    If it will be work save the game option "Save as .. number " - not "Save and Quit".

    I don't work for EA
