If playing with mods and custom content, move your mods folder to the desktop, clear your game cache and delete the localthumbcache.package from the Sims 4 folder to help with troubleshooting.
Try playing the game again to test without the mods folder. If it loads okay, it may be that some of the mods/cc have become outdated.
How to Delete Cache Files
https://sims4.crinrict.com/en/2014/09/delete-cache-files/Custom content can become outdated with most new game patches. If the game works when the Mods folder is removed, then one or more of the mods and/or custom content has become outdated and will need to be removed or replaced. EA/Maxis aren't responsible for broken mods/cc. It's up to the creators to fix.
Disabling or turning off both mod/cc options isn't enough of a test.
Try the 50/50 method:
1. Move all the mods and cc out into a temporary folder on the desktop.
2. Move a few files back at a time. Load the game to make sure it loads and everything is good.
3. Delete the localthumbcache.package from the Sims 4 folder.
4. Repeat steps 1 - 3 till there is no more files to check.** While your testing, don't save the game. If you find any problems, delete the mod or custom content file.

- Happened to me too. I had to hold the power button down to restart the computer. Then restarted the game. All was okay after that. That is a strange bug.
I don’t understand. While I was travelling with I think 2 sims, the game starts loading , as usual but it’s been loading now for around 2 days. I have loads of cc downloaded and I deleted it for now just to save my game 😉 but it’s still loading and I have no idea what to do!!! Also, I tried restarting my Mac and it doesn’t restart because I need to exit out of the sims 4 first but obviously I can’t do that if it’s on the load screen! Please help me!!!

Deleting it while the game is running will not help. Please follow earlier instruction on how to restart your PC.
