[AA] [IL] Family Lot Will Not Load

seen necro post - Sims 4 Crashes when Loading Lots | EA Forums - 11939415  

this isn't exactly my issue.  i can play on the same Save file, and also Save w a different household.  the family i'm trying to play is per the Event, and also my only current family w children.  i started playing today and the father and one child were off-lot.
attempted to play the child and return him to home, CTD.  tested again, CTD.
played as the father, he's swimming in the ocean - the house is also in Sulani bt he was on neighbor's lot.  swam him to shore and attempted to go home, CTD.  played father, realized the wife was "Late to Work" as Camp Counselor [AA].  sent her to work.  (i don't remember selecting this a job for her, bt might-of during event ... she was close to Top of career, so might have changed after promotion).  as father was near work schedule, i called for vacation day and moved both kids to lot (of the neighbor's).
found which son had the stuff animal and proceeded w quest, told the father to go home.  moved both children to Willow Creek and Slyvan Glade.  bcs of near time for scouts, they rushed off to work ... loading home lot, and CTD.
attempted again and was able to get one child through the Event, (other was home/scouts).  Event "Return Home" and this led to another CTD.    i saved the game before attempting to leave Glade to home, incase i had a CTD.
figured it might it might be an issue w the mother Camp Counselor.  so i played another family on same Save.  no issues, bt cannot do any Event (since family doesn't have child) - also, this reset the Event back to start of quest??  played the new family up through Tue night, so mother would have been home and not work.  attempt to load household/lot and another CTD.
if i open the lot to Edit and Build the lot, it's no issue.  it's just when trying to load the family and lot together?  Verified Files, still CTD.  Clear User Folder as recommended and did finish the Event.  hwvr, all previous saves are gone and fear that adding them back will lead to same locked family lot.

    Judging from the errors your game throws, it does seem to be the same issue. It might be something different actual causing the issue but it's all the same problem.

    If you run into further issues, try removing the skillful sleep perk.

    I think what happens is that your game crashes before it can show the actually error code.

    i don't have mods that show LastExceptions.  i've never seen the popup listed in photo, i don't think.  so- you're saying she was might been asleep when saved the game, and started playing diff household - and bcs of clone issue caused my problem?

    minor note - when test sim owned house; my fridge, toys, books were still loaded.  sometime btwn eviction and moving original family, they all poofed off.  i deleted the test, so... can't say to see if she kept them during moving out bt why wouldn't have the original family?  i think i moved them by same options.

    idk why/how this fixed it, bt thankyou!  i don't think i have the monies i had prior, even though i wrote down "family worth" before moving them, bt atleast they have their house back.  (i try not to cheat monies, bt i see why when have to.)  tried marking you as Solution bt do not have the option... (??)

    Hi Applecorn80​ 

    I got them to load but I've already finished the event so I don't know if that's a factor. If I were you, I would start a new save to finishe the event but you can also try if this works for you.

    (I could duplicate the crashing before doing this).

    1. Move the family via Household manager to a random lot.
    2. Load the family
    3. If that works, move another random family into the sulani lot
    4. Load that family
    5. If that works, evict the family in the sulani lot and move the original family back into their home.
    6. Use cheats where necessary to have enough money.

    Let me know if this works.

    Would you be willing to share your save with me ?

    If so, please zip your saves folder and upload it somewhere like dropbox, googledrive or OneDrive and PM me the link.
