I posted this in the Mac forum, but was hoping to actually get a reply, so I will try here:
After the latest patch, I can load up the game, but when I select a household to play, it will go to the loading screen and eventually return to the world selector without loading the family. I've restarted the game, tried different families and repaired the game and nothing has worked. I have no mods or CC either so I have no idea how to fix this.

Turn off origin in-game
http://sims4.crinrict.com/en/2014/09/deactivate-origin-in-game/
Move your saves folder from your sims 4 folder to the desktop, then start a new game and this will generate a new saves folder. Start a new game and see if the problem has been fixed. Exit the game.
Put each of the save files that end in .save ( not the save.ver ones) that are in the saves folder on your desktop one by one back into the Documents -Electronic Arts -sims 4 folder -saves folder, testing the game after each one to see if the game is working.
To do that, put one .save file back into the folder, go to the load button ( the one with the file image) in the main screen in the game, load the game and see if it works. Then take that file out and try another .save file. Every file that works, is a game file that you will be able to keep in the game.
Don't put the slot_00000001.save back into the folder because that is the autosave. The autosave could be causing the problems.

If it was fixed, the cause would have been a save file that has become corrupt.
Try rolling back the save file to an earlier version.

If i start a new save, it seems to work, but I really do not want to lose this current save.
Hello Lindley.

Would it matter if the file is from a Mac?
Possibly, yes, but it would have been at a kid's table, not an easel.
This is something I found as a culprit.

@GreenDay No, it doesn't matter. Trying your save right now.

You mean a corrupt relationship is causing the issue ? That could be another possible cause to this. Anything that prevents the game from loading the family will cause this so if a Sim or a relationship is the cause, that could be it.
Only question is how one could fix that.

I remember being able to help one other person who encountered the same issue after placing a retail lot in-game. I acquired my lot online, but theirs was from the gallery: http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/comment/13589936/#Comment_13589936
Looking back, I see that the problem started when attempting to make the lot NPC-owned by selling it. Could play just fine as long as my family owned the lot.
Did you close down the game inbetween trying different games ?
(and yes I'm talking to you @IceyJ

Just wanna say that I narrowed down @GreenDay issue to a corrupt family/relationship. Deleting the family makes the game load again.
With this bug it's very important that you close the game once you have the bug before trying a new save or it will carry over.

What should I do from here? I assume I can delete the kiddie table. Then, do I save the game and close? Do I save as a new game? Also, the family I deleted had been saved to my gallery when I first created them. I assume it would be ok to move them from the gallery back to the house?

If the houses loaded after you evicted the family, it might be a different issue though
Anyways, try this
1. Put Origin in offline mode
2. Start the game
3. Load your save game
4. Go into buy mode
5. Delete the picture (if you can't delete it on it's own, delete the whole table)
6. Go back to map view.
7. Load the family.
As said, your issue might not be that picture but a corrupt relationship as for @GreenDay
You're welcome to upload your save if you want me to take a look.

I would be happy to have you look at my save but I'm unsure of how to send it to you.
