Re: [OPEN] Game crashing when placing certain items (Intel Iris XE, DX9)

Is this issue still being investigated? 

SOLUTION: for those like me - I was unable to use the dx11 workaround. I continued to receive an error with a message that says "The requested operation requires elevation"... I tried running the EA app and Sims4 app as an administrator and still.... NOTHING. I came across this blog on Reddit and it was the only thing that has let me move cabinets without the crash!!!!! I pray it's a permanent fix, but hopefully it will help someone struggling like I was.

"Find where Sims 4 is installed first. The default path nowadays is: Program Files (x86)\EA Games\The Sims 4 but it actually used to be: Program Files (x86)\Origin\The Sims 4. It could be in either one, depending on when you first got the game. Once you find The Sims 4 folder, go into "Game" then "Bin". If you have a desktop shortcut, you can simply right-click it and select "Open file location". This will take you directly the "Bin" folder. You should see in there several files including: "TS4_DX9_x64", "TS4_Launcher_x64" and "TS4_x64".

Right-click the one that says "TS4_Launcher_x64" and select "Properties". Click on the "Compatibility" tab and check "Run this program as an administrator". Then click "Apply" and "Ok"."

Hope this helps!
