Alien Abductions Freeze the Game - Get to Work

While I was playing in the scientist career in Get to Work, my sim got abducted (as they typically do), but when they came back, I was suddenly unable to do anything in Live Mode. I couldn't switch sims, double/triple speed, or even zoom out using my mouse, and my sims were completely unresponsive, aside from idle animations of them simply standing, so it wasn't an entire freeze, and time wouldn't pass. Even attempting to exit the game would go unresponsive, as well as trying to save would put it on a never-ending loading screen.

I did all the typical things to do in this scenario, removed all CC, repaired my game, removed the localthumbcache file, and nothing would work. I've moved this household out, changed lots, etc. and nothing seems to be working. 

Not sure if this is a post-update glitch, or if this is just me.

    This has been a known mod issue in the past. Seems some custom alien eyes caused this.

    Since you say you removed all mods, did you also tried this:

    • Close the game
    • Rename Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 to Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4_Old
    • Repair the game
    • Start the game. All your content will be gone now as the game created a new folder. All your saves/.. is still in the old folder so not to worry. 
    • Start a new save game
    • Check if you still have the error
    • Report back with your results for further steps on how to get your stuff back.
