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.
I have experienced this bug today, so far I have removed mods folder and repaired game, I also evicted the sim and moved them back in as it was saved directly before the sim was abducted. As soon as the save loads and plays the sim is in the middle of being abducted still even after following all the above guidelines. I did have a couple of mods and cc originally but very minimal and definitely never any alien eyes so it can't be that, that's caused it. The sim wasn't enrolled in any Get To Work careers either which I thought odd, they were in Evergreen Harbor and doing a freelance crafter career.
I noticed in the original bug report it was reported on a Mac, I am a PC user.
I experienced the exact same issue yesterday two times. Deleted mods, repaired the game and same thing happened again. Lost 5 hours of gameplay in total (never ending saving screen). The game has been broken since Life & Death patches I wouldn't be surprised if it's a bug/glitch unrelated to mods.
