Since removing your mods folder, have you cleared your cache files and deleted the localthumbcache.package from the Sims 4 folder in Documents to help with troubleshooting?
Delete Game Cache Files (What and How-To)
https://www.carls-sims-4-guide.com/forum/index.php?topic=29288.msg401662#msg401662And/or refreshing your Sims 4 folder?
Move your Sims 4 folder from Documents to the desktop, launch the game so it creates a new folder. Exit the game and Origin.
Trying to test if a new Sims 4 folder and a new test-game might help solve the issue. If it does, copy back these files:
- Options.ini File -- The graphic/sounds/gameplay options
- Saves -- Saved game files - leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave. It is not used anymore.
- Tray -- Sims, Houses, Rooms and Community lots
- Screenshots -- Photos you've taken with the C key in-game.
- Recorded Videos -- Video clips you've taken with the V key in-game.
- Mods -- Put these back one by one to make sure they all still work.
