Can no longer relocate or move in sims

i am on pc, the taco bell disc version.
i'm having an issue when trying to move in sims and also relocating ppl. after i invite someone to move in, the option to do so still pops up when engaging with them and when i go to an empty lot, it only shows the "inspect" option and no "move in sim" option :(
it does the same thing for relocating. after doing the relocating stuff the option still shows at the mailbox and empty lot still just says "inspect"

my task book has also been glitched for a little while now. tasks that i have already completed more than a year ago started showing back up in the book. even for Vincent, and he has been kicked out of town for AGES. but anyways yeah, no move-ins or relocates in the task book either :((

also...idk if this is a normal thing or not since this is my first time getting an uber sim, but after i invited Mel to move in he somehow can just roam around town without an actual residence?? 😭 like i haven't even built his house yet but he just wanders around the town square somehow (maybe this is just something uber sims can do for some reason, like i said this is my first time unlocking one so idk) & clicking the "ask to move in" option still does the same thing, it plays the animation where i'm inviting him to town and the dialogue pops up, but afterwards the option doesn't go away and like i said going to empty lots just says "inspect" ...very confusing and frustrating :/

missing sims

UPDATE: problem solved thank goodness!! i had to visit an old save file backup, find the Guid codes for the now-missing sims from .world files and locationinteriordef files (Cedella was in her cafe's interiordef, Sandra was in club candy interiordef, Flipper was in desert.world, Raven was in forest.world) i had to copy the lines of code & paste them into my updated savedata .world & locationinteriordef files, and BOOM! they are no longer missing :))

okay so i realize this is a known bug, but i've been having sims randomly go missing.
enter their residence, they never show up. this happened recently with Yuki and i tried the relocate "fix" and it worked...however, i've now discovered Cedella, Raven, Flipper, & Sandra are missing. i had to edit my playerrecord file to even get the relocate option to appear since i already had Yuki queued for relocation (i can't ACTUALLY relocate anyone because all my lots are full—and while i do have the moving-sims-in-garden "mod" every garden lot is full as well)
i've also tried the kick-out "fix" but they just never come out. i've also tried using the salon chair to force them out of hiding, but not only do they never show up, doing this just breaks the game and makes it where i cannot do anything, not even exit the salon.

opening relationships book causes game to crash

UPDATE: PROBLEM SOLVED!! one of my mods had changed the characterdef files for almost everyone, i replaced them with the default 2010 files and that fixed it :)) i'm assuming it was the neighborhood stories mod that caused this, but idk for sure so don't quote me on that lol

so i'm on the pc version, specifically the physical copy or "taco bell" version as people call it. i have lots of mods installed as well.
i also attempted to edit some files on a specific character just to simply change their name but it didn't work properly...although, i could still flip through the relationships book with no problem until now, which makes me think a mod is causing the issue.
every single time i open the relationships book, my game instantly crashes. i was willing to just tolerate not being able to use the book until just now as i've discovered another problem it causes...i can't use the "dress up friend" or "makeover friend" options when using the changing booth/costume chest or the salon chair. this is frustrating and less tolerable because i like to change little details of the npcs sometimes.
EDIT: even BIGGER PROBLEM!! i didn't even think about completing tasks bringing up the relationship book as well...so yeah, my game also crashes when i go to do a task.

does anyone know how to fix this?
i will list the mods i have installed below.
however, some of them i've actually tried to uninstall but for some reason mods with installers don't actually uninstall for me, they kinda just...pretend to uninstall but the features they added are still in the game :/

mods (all from nexus) i have installed:
• custom portable workbench
• better build mode (installer)
• unlimited blocks alternative (installer)
• improved game camera (installer)
• unlimited inventory (installer)
• more CAS content (installer)
• more sims spawn in game (installer)
• deskbell 2.0
• save and quit menu
• time and day on map
• chat like npcs (installer)
• neighborhood stories (installer)
• social tweaks (installer)
• start an activity (installer)
• who are you interaction (installer)
• activities tweaks (installer)
• stargazing activity (installer)
• more interactions (installer)
