Sims 2 Legacy Collection Randomly Crashing

I am playing on PC using the EA app. 

The sims 2 has been constantly randomly crashing, with no error message or warning. I can then restart the game and play for a while but then it eventually randomly crashes again. It doesn't seem to be happening at any particular moment like travel, etc. 

I have read many forms and attempted to get in contact with EA support, but that's non existent. I have uninstalled the game, deleted the files, cleared cache files, repaired the game in the EA app. 

My computer meets requirements and no other games have the issue, so I am not sure what else to try. 

Any help is appreciated.

  • smstief​  If you use any mods or custom content, please remove everything and repair the game (again), then test.  You don't need to save your progress, or you can test with a new save first.

    If you don't use mods or cc, or testing your existing save without them doesn't help, please test a new save, for comparison's sake.  I'm not saying you have to get rid of your old save, only that this is useful info.

    If the new save is affected too, please provide a dxdiag.  Click Windows key-R, enter dxdiag in the run box, wait for the scan to finish, click "Save all information," and save the file to your desktop.  From there, you can attach it to a reply using the paper clip (Attachment) icon included with the other formatting buttons.
