Wont load household

At first, it was my mods, I took them out and now I cant load any household. I can see the worlds, but I cannot load into a household. I even dozed off but I woke up and the plumbob was still spinning not letting me load any households.

  • @CosmiicBrowniee  As a test, please try playing in a clean user folder.  Move the entire Sims 4 folder out of Documents > Electronic Arts and onto your desktop, and when you launch the game, a clean folder will spawn with no content.  (Your saves and other content will be intact in the folder you moved but temporarily not read by the game.)  Don't add anything to the new folder yet; just let me know whether you can get far enough to start a new save and play in live mode for a bit.

    If that doesn't help, please run a dxdiag and attach it to a post.

    If you can load a new save, try copying one of your existing saves to the new Sims 4 folder and loading that.

  • @CosmiicBrowniee It definitely was probably the mods. I removed all mine completely and mine works. I had that same issue when I had mods.
    Ideas
    - Try to repair the game.
    - Or it might be your computer that might just not be working.
