ASweetLullaby The Sims crashes in your dxdiag mostly point to a fundamental component of Windows, one that is probably not corrupt given that your computer works at all. Still, please run a couple of basic checks of your Windows system files:
- Hit Windows key-X
- Choose either “PowerShell (Administrator)” or “Windows Terminal (Administrator),” whichever option is offered
- Inside the window that appears, copy and paste “DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth” without quotes, and enter
- The system will start validating soon. If it throws an error, please list it here
- After it reaches 100%, hit Windows key-X again
- Again, choose “PowerShell (Administrator)” or “Windows Terminal (Administrator)”
- Inside the window, copy and paste “sfc /scannow” without quotes, and enter
- Post the message you receive here
Restart your computer, hit Windows key-i, select Update & Security, and click the box to check for updates. If any install, restart again afterwards.
Please also increase the size of your computer's page file, which is where the processor stores data that would be in RAM but doesn't fit. Your page file is almost all used. Here's how to increase it (option three):

Set the minimum to 12288 and the max to 16384, and restart your computer.
