    @mjacks48  Do you use mods or custom content, and if so, does this happen without any of that content present?  Please test if you haven't already and let me know; you don't need to save your progress.

    If you get another crash with no mods or cc, please look for a lastcrash in your Sims 4 user folder.  The best approach here is to look now and delete any you find, then see whether you get a new one.  If you do, please either copy its text and paste it into a reply—use a spoiler tag—or create a .rar file and attach it to a post.

    Out of curiousity, does this crash happen when you play online as well?  Even if you don't want to normally, and even though there's no reason this should make a difference, it's worth testing just to be sure.

@mjacks48  The offline screen from the EA App is normal, what you'd expect to see with no connection, so that part can be ignored.  Your dxdiag lists a few Sims 4 crashes, but they're all access violations, too generic an error to be much help here.

When the game crashes, what exactly are you doing: setting up a party invite list, or adding sims to the household, or something else?  Is there any other context where you get a crash, and what are you doing in that moment?  If you notice any pattern at all, please let me know.

@puzzlezaddict only when I am  setting up a party invite list. Game runs fine otherwise.

Thanks!
