EA App crashes when trying to download Sims 4 update

It's perfectly fine otherwise, but it crashes after a short bit of trying to update Sims 4. I end up having to do an app recovery to get it to work properly again, otherwise the app just crashes any time I try to open it after this. 

I sent a couple error reports:

5cb21add-5689-4156-a63b-0b8b720b539c (from yesterday)

82f3e87f-e6ef-4f7f-bd32-4c21ac1a8b58 (from today)

On Windows 10 Home 22H2.

It started yesterday (June 9th) in the afternoon. Probably around 4PM central time?

The exact error is "The app crashed unexpectedly. We ran into a problem, but a quick restart should fix it".

EA app version: 13.220.0.5733 (hotfix-33cdc64701)

I've included the EA app error logs in case they're needed.

  • I had this same problem. I got Sims 4 to open by quickly canceling the update as soon as ea opens then repairing the game. It's under Sims 4 -> manage ->repair. Also, repairing the game shouldn't mess up your save files but its good to back them up anyways when troubleshooting something like this.

    Hope this helps!

  • @GirlPowerHub Thank you! This worked. Hopefully I won't have to do that every time there's an update. It's disappointing this is even an issue to begin with.
