I moved The Sims 4 Folder to a different location, ran the game to create a new one and closed it. I went ahead and removed the mods folder, thinking the issue was MOD related. However a day later Townies began appearing around town without a face. I did a batch fix and the game would start again.
I was instructed to download S4S due to the fact that I had exception files which related to CC furniture. I've been having this issue for about a week now.
