I just downloaded the recent update earlier in the day 4/29/25, which I presumed automatically turned off mods though I do play with a few script mods like UI cheats, MCCC, BBB and a UI color mod.

Crashes on Mainmenu

So I went months playing in offline mode, not updating. I bought Businesses & Hobbies and Enchanted by Nature. I just updated my game and installed both of those expansion packs, then updated my mods (the ones that tend to give me the most issues). After that, I loaded into the main menu, clicked resume game, then had a loading screen for a bit before my game crashed. I plucked out all of my mods and cc until my mod folder was literally empty. Still crashed. Repaired the game, let it create a new sims 4 folder, let it create a new mods folder, everything. I was able to load into an older save, but my regular save crashed it always. I tried creating a new save, that loaded. I left it in my folder and added back in my regular save (which is literal years old and I do not want to lose it). Tried to load my regular save again, crashed again.
So on a last ditch effort, I thought I'd try disabling the new expansion packs. Suddenly it loaded. I then kept Businesses & Hobbies disabled, and reenabled Enchanted by Nature. My regular save loaded. Something with Businesses & Hobbies makes my game crash and I'd love to figure out why because I don't want to have spent $40 on an expansion pack that I have to leave disabled to even play my game...
