After the 19 August 2025 patch, my game is literally unplayable.
I am able to load as far as the main menu, and I can choose a save to load, but I cannot load any lots. When attempting to load a re...

Hello! I have tried everything and have followed basic troubleshooting steps to solve this issue. I recently had to completely restart my save file because my previous legacy was corrupted which is devastating. So this time I am slowly moving in a mod at a time, and no matter what the mod is, even if the mod I add in is NOT broken, whenever I try and load a game it jumps back to the World screen. I have removed the mods again, I've cleared the cache many times as well as repair the game inbetween adding mods and no matter what I do, the game will not load. I am getting so frustrated because my previous save I had spent thousands of hours on and now I cant even start a new one without having issues despite not having any broken mods. Any suggestions other than the steps that I have done as always, would be DEEPLY appreciated!!
I am not an expert by any means. I am just adding some of the addtional steps I did. So I loaded the game and when the first screen appeared where you see the family posing in the middle of the screen. I clicked on the three dots in the corner right hand corner - and selected options and turned off the allow mods and the allow scripts option. I clicked Accept Changes and then exited the game.
Then I loaded the game again and then - again when it stops at the first loading screen where you see your family posing. I clicked on the three dots again -and then selected the new Pack Selector option. For me - so I am assuming it will be the same for you - it had at the top portion all of the packs you have and they were all ticked and below it had all the packs you do not have and they were unticked. I clicked accept and it gives a warning about mods if I recall correctly or some kind of warning. I clicked OK. I then continued on. I think it still showed me the world. I exited from the worlds screen back out to my desktop.
Then I created a new mods folder.. I copied all my mods from the games mod folder to this folder. I then loaded the game again - and after some time - it loaded normally straight to the family I was playing. I then exited .
And then I separated my mods into different creators and checked each creator for any updates. If there were - I replaced my mods with the updated versions. Then I loaded the game - and stopped at the first screen - turned on mods and scripts again. Exited the game. Then I selected a group of mods and copied them to the game mod folder. Then I spent the whole day - moving mods over group by group - loading the game each time. It worked for most of the mods - and failed for one script mod - which I removed and now the game works.
I am not sure if this helps. As it seems to be different for every player. But hopefully there is something there you can try. I wish you good luck my fellow - 'I just want to play the Sims without stress and frustration' simmer'.
I meant to say that I moved (not copied) my mods from the games mod to the newly created folder. Then after checking with the creators for updates - I moved them group by group from the new folder to the games mod folder. Loading the game each time I moved a group to the games folder.
