Sims 2 Crashing after 2025 update

I can’t find anything online about someone else having this issue. Since the update, I can’t load into any household after starting the game because “Direct 3D returned an error: D3DRR_INVALIDCALL! The application will now terminate.”  So now Sims 2 is entirely unplayable. 
My drivers are up to date. 
My pc is up to date. 
The Sims 2 is up to date. 
I also attempted to repair the game. 

Any help would be great. I don’t play with mods or cc and I’m already so far into this gameplay that it would be unreasonable to have to uninstall and reinstall each time an update comes out.
