Sims 4 will not load past the plumbob loading screen.

So basically I have had this issue for a little over a week. Every time I try to play the game, it gets to the plumbob portion of the loading screen then crashes. The music will cut out and crash. I have worked with many people trying to figure this out. I have done Folder refreshes, Taking mods and cc out, origin cache repairs, game repairs, DNS flush everything and nothing has worked. I got really close to fixing it when someone told me to just turn off origin in game and when I did it seemed to be fixed. However when I was playing I went to manage worlds and my game crashed and everything was happening again. Also another thing that happened is when I would hit "run as administrator" for the sims 4 in a certain order, the game would launch. However that is not working right now. I just feel like I have done everything possible and I don't know what to do.

    @Minegamer612  Yes, you could, but performance would be somewhere between bad and unbearable.  Most VMs don't have direct (or "direct") access to hardware or their own graphics drivers, so the game would be rendered in software mode only.  To give you an idea, I tried this once to see what would happen, and I averaged about one frame per second.
