Thanks for the reply.
As far as the graphics card.... I tried the method of getting my graphics card recognized because of the crashing. Many people with windows 10 have said that it has stopped their games from crashing. Sadly my game still is.
I tried a repair of the game. That did not work.
I uninstalled the game and then reinstalled everything. The game generated a whole new folder. Nothing in it but the game itself. No store content at all. It is still crashing to desktop.
I reinstalled direct X, no help there either.
I read several posts on the official microsoft forums. It seems like many people are having this crashing issue ( not just with the sims ) after a recent windows 10 series of updates. Games that ran fine are all of a sudden crashing for no reason, no changes made to them.
Since I did install a whole bunch of windows 10 updates when I bought this pc 2 days ago, I am wondering if I too am infected by whatever is causing problems for other games too.
I plan to keep trouble shooting. Hopefully find some kind of a solution.
16 gigs of ram and an 8 gig graphics card should not have issues playing a game. Hehe just my luck that it does.
Thanks again for the reply! Much appreciated!
