Re: Sims 4 crashing on startup, Blue Screen of Death Sometimes

My best guess is you have some sort of hardware that is about to fail completely. BSOD isn't good. Probably an outdated mod causing your sims to not load. Post your Last Exception errors at this site https://lastexception.com/  If you get no joy you can email them the Last Exception error and they will look into it. I'm not about to read all of those files relating to your PC that you so kindly posted.... Sorry but I'd rather poke my eyes out... 

I'm sure some guru will find them interesting... Hope you get it sorted out.

  • For some reason i dont have last exception errors. It says last crash but thats it. Here's a screenshot. I tried to upload the lastcrash but that wasn't working. Copy n pasting in the textbox didn't work either.

    Take the whole sims 4 folder from the My Documents/Electronic arts folder and place it on your desktop somewhere. Then run the game (it will generate a whole new Sims 4 folder) When you do this if the game starts then you need to save the game and exit.

    Slowly start adding your saved games from the old sims 4 folder (now on your desktop) into the newly created set back in your my documents/Electronic arts/sims 4 

    Then add back your mods a few at a time (I make a folder inside my mods folder called testing) and then run the game after each batch you add to see if the game starts. If the game starts take out the files from the testing folder and add them to your mods folder and add more to the testing folder and start the game again. As soon as the game stops loading you will have found a file that is causing the problem in the last batch you added and then its just a process of elimination (one by one taking them out until the game loads). Its not easy but its the only way. There is a sims 4 mod conflict detector at Mod the sims 4 you could try that out too its made by scumbumbo.
