Sims 4 Household wont open

So I know there has been an issue with this for others, but mine is a bit different. So I've played with many mods before and after i'm done making a sim I can go straight to a lot and build a house or place one down. Just now recently I haven't been able to load any houses up or build on any lots. Instead of returning back to the house selection page (which has happened for others) it just keep loading and loading. It wont go back and the only way I can turn the game off is by shutting down or restarting my computer because it's stuck in this endless loading. I took the Sims 4 file from the Electronic Arts folder and put it in Desktop. I deleted the files, did some work, and started the game over again like it was brand new. When I created a character without any mods I was able to go to a lot. I thought the problem was solved then and added the mods back. I created a character with mods and tried to go to a lot again and it just wouldn't load. It never goes back to the house selection screen and I'm starting to think the problem is a mod, but I've been able to play with them for the longest. Help me please.

    The majority of the mods I use are hair, clothes, and accessories. I have some traits too so I’ll delete those. What then do I do if that doesn’t work out?

    So I deleted all of the traits I could find as well as some other cc I had and tried to load a new household with a sims with cc. It still wouldn’t load up the household and I had to restart my computer again.

    Hi @MojoJojoTMM

      

    Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199

    You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files  and make a backup.

    After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin.

    Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.

    • Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
    • Tray Folder
    • Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
    • Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave)
    • Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
    • Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)

    The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.

    So I've reset my factory settings and it's like a brand new game. I am able to go into a household just fine (but without any mods and cc). So if I wanted to add my mods and cc back would I just add a few at a time to the mods folder and see if I can access a household and continue doing it until I run across a problem and delete the recently added ones or is there a faster way to do that.

    Problems solved. I downloaded a mod finder for all of the “broken” mods I had. Unfortunately I had to delete some of my favorites, but it’s better that I can actually play the game now and still have some of my cc. Thank you so much for the help 🙂
