Game corruption after CAS edit

Where it all started: I'm used to play offline, because, before updating the game, I'd like to have my mods updated as well. Last time (game version was 1.112), after not playing the game for MONTHS, I wasn't able to load my save, because it kept crashing while loading the household (keep in mind, I hadn't install any new mods in the meantime). So, after several attempts in trying to find the bad mod, I opted for a more drastic solution: i completely UNINSTALLED and REINSTALLED the game and updated all my mods.

Apparently, that fixed the problem: I could enjoy the game back.

Yay!

Well, until yesterday. Yesterday, for no reason at all, it crashed when I entered CAS to edit a Sim and dared to click Confirm. After that, madness followed.

I couldn't, under no circumstances (which means even completely disabling mods) load the save file again. No matter what I did. So I recovered the save (which, by the way, meant SEVERAL HOURS OF GAMEPLAY LOST) and could load the previous state. I made the same CAS edit AGAIN and guess what? The game crashed again when I clicked confirm!

So I was like, whatever, I don't need that CAS edit, let me just recover the file and start playing back from there. So I recovered the save, started playing from there, saved the game, and quit. Can you guess what happened when I tried to open the game later? You're right: it crashed!

So I made a new save file. There was nothing of the old one, except for one Sim. Do I really need to keep telling you what happened? Or can you guess by yourself?

I tried EVERYTHING: searching for a solution on the internet, asking ChatGpt, new save file, no mods, uninstalling and reinstalling the game AGAIN. Nothing worked

So, in conclusion: I like the game, I like spending hours on it, I've grown fond of the characters I've created. I don't want to start all over again. Especially because NO ONE is gonna give me back the time I spent on it. Mine is a simple question, maybe a little aggressive, but I'm sure you can understand my anger:

Will you please FIX YOUR **bleep** GAME?
You are PAID for it. It's YOUR JOB. Can you do YOUR JOB?

Kindly,
Thanks

P.S. I'm attaching my lastCrash file. Note: no lastException file was generated during the crashes. So don't come at me with that "please try the game without mods" crap. I already tried that.
