DivinylsFan I believe you're talking about the Alder Lake issue, which affects Sims 3 and Sims Medieval, although I wasn't aware it also impacted SimCity 4. You could try running Lazy Duchess's Alder Lake patch on SC4 as an experiment, since it works equally well for TS3 and TSM. More details are here:
In case you or anyone else is wondering, the issue affects higher-end Intel processors of the 12th-gen (products formerly Alder Lake) and newer, but not lower-end CPUs. Some i5 models are affected, some not, and I believe all performance-tier i7s.
This issue causes a crash on startup, or for Sims 3 at least, a crash immediately after pressing Play in the launcher. It doesn't have any impact on the game after that.
I only have gen-10, start-up and gameplay fine (and again no mods) I think I was able to find it had to go into all my save fills and delate them all sadly
