Hi! So I've not played the game for a few months, I waited for the most recent patch to fix the new bugs that came with the patch for the new ep, I updated my mods both manually and then with Sims 4 Mod Manager. I run the game, make a family in CAS in a new save, try to load the family, game is stuck at loading screen.

When I noticed this, I got the Mod Manager, updated a few more mods with it, quarantined a few mods I thought might be the culprits (one was for custom loading screens, couple others were mods I couldn't find recent update info on). Despite this, the problem remains unfixed.

Now. The weird thing is that I get a last exception each time I'm in the loading screen trying to play. I'll attach it below. I'm usually ok with determining where the issue lies but this has me confused.
Also - on Mod Manager there is one more mod that the program prompts me to update, but what Mod Manager says over the icon of that mod is, ''only mods, cas & build/buy are currently supported" and behind that text, I can see a sim. Now I never download custom sims for the game so this strikes me as extremely odd. Mod Manager calls this file ''Danielle Brown'' and lists the creator as tibuuus8 on CurseForge. Now I occasionally use the site but err on the side of caution so again, this feels strange to me. Also, I can't find a file of that name in the Mods folder anywhere, it only shows up with Mod Manager. I'll attach a photo of these instances as well.

I'm not sure what to do next - I could do 50/50, sure, but I figured I might as well shoot an ask here first, in case someone has info on this? I couldn't find anything on Google about the specific file either.

(ps. I also tried uploading the last exception error report on lastexception.com but it refuses to read it whether I paste it or upload the file itself, I don't know why)

editing to say that mc command center's discord folks are on holiday, otherwise I would've tried there as well

I tried repairing the game too but yeah, nothing's changed.
