White screen on startup and more

So recently for some reason, my sims game had just been starting up with a white screen, and doesn't load at all. I've tried restarting the game so many times that I believe on perhaps the 6th or 8th time I restarted it, it finally loaded. When I go to CAS, it works perfectly fine. Then when I go find a house for my new sim, this REALLY strange glitch happens. ( picture below) The sim doesn't appear in the profile panel and the sim is not even in the world. Can anyone help me please?? It was working perfectly fine, and then somehow this just happened. Also, this was happening before the new update as well

Heres the picture

Also, if it helps anyone, I use mods.

    I tried that and it worked, however I have to find the mod that caused this. I've tried using the Mod Conflict Detector, and not even it could find anything. However its so strange because this just happened randomly

    The mod conflict detector detects conflicts between different mods not the game itself.

    If you have many mods/CC use the 50/50 approach to testing.

    Meaning take out half and test. If it works put back half of what you took out and test. continue until you find the mod/mods that conflicts.

    So you are saying that after testing all your mods you no longer have the issue?

    No, it's the opposite of that. After testing my mods, I still couldn't find the mod that messes up my game.

    Then you haven't been testing as I suggested or you would have found it.

    You can instead of the 50/50 method test with one at a time. takes longer but you are sure to find which mod/mods or CC that conflicts.

    Does it work when you remove all mods/CC?

    I have no mods or CC and for me, its just a white screen the moment I click play. Also, there is no icon for the app that's running on my taskbar.
