Crashing Family
FourCats:
downloaded custom careers did this to me. I removed the careers and the crashing/freezing stopped.

This seems to suggest that the crash was due to something (CC object perhaps) that was on the lot. Once the family was moved out and the lot was reset (cleared) it may be that the offending object was removed and the lot was playable.
Is there something specific that was on this lot that was not on the lots that did not crash?
Well, that's possible because it was a well-played lot with plenty of cc and when I moved them into another lot, it was just a maxis made unplayed one that I plopped down quickly just to see if I could load the family. However, I never had this problem before they came back from vacation. It crashed when loading the household during their return and continued crashing after that.
I wondered at the time if it had to do with something stupid I did on vacation. Only 2 of the 4 sims in this household went on vacation, but they took along 5 other sims from other households. I just got BV recently and didn't realize that these guests would be uncontrollable. I am an idiot. To keep them from dying and/or peeing themselves, I enabled pet controls on them, which worked to an extent. Unfortunately, I forgot to turn the cheat off before leaving and I just wondered if that messed up the return home for the family (all of the other households involved are fine). Also, I don't have the pets ep, so I'm not sure it was a great idea to use pet cheats.
So to make what should be a short answer to your quick question even longer, I'm not quite sure what the issue is. Now that I've moved them back into the same lot, it's playable again. However, just today I decided to package the lot to file because I really like the home and I was going share it, but when I opened the package with Clean Installer it contains files for cc that was not on the lot and character data for at least 20 sims none of whom have ever lived there, but are possibly in the family's contact list. I don't usually package lots with families in them so I'm not sure if this is normal or not. (I suspect it might be though, hence the VBT that is packaging household lots.) What's not normal though is after I installed the cleaned up lot (lot file only) and opened it in game it crashes when loading.
So, final conclusion is: I dunno, am stupid.

hmm never thought about those, I think I may have a few ...I think I only have the LS ones though, but I will try removing them and see what happens
thanks
*edit: I tried removing the custom careers and it still didn't fix my problem :(
oh well ...no biggie I guess
Sivany:
When my lots were crashing half way through loading it turned out to be because I'd somehow broken some of my custom clothes by running them through the Wardrobe Wrangler and doing something stupid. Once I restored the clothes from the backup the lots loaded fine. I'm pretty sure this was happening across the neighbourhood, but it's also possible that every family I attempted to load had the broken clothes file in the wardrobe anyway (I'm pretty certain I know which three files I broke with the wrangler and they were the underwear I give almost every male). Even if you haven't used the wardrobe wrangler it could be broken/corrupt clothes files or other custom content files causing crashes, not just custom objects.
Jelenedra:
For those paranoid about CC: Does this include EAxis downloadable objects? There was a thread not too long ago with a crashing lot that had corruptted EAxis download content.
