Hi thanks for your reply!
So I started off by putting a few mods and cc that I thought were broken and I played offline. it briefly did the windows circle loading twice but it didn't come up with a windows error. i played for 10 mins and I didn't get any crashing. i also tried the windows reliability error and I checked today's one and I didn't get any errors but I can also see the errors from previous.
I then tried it again with all my mods and cc and the Windows circle came up for a long time with the windows error then it kept coming up during the loading screen into my game, then it came up again when I went into build mode several times when I was searching words. however, the game didn't crash on offline mode. i have checked the windows reliability error checker and I waited an hour but today's errors have still not come up so I will save yesterday's one. if it does eventually come up then I will send that one too:

@Emiii20078 The faulting module here, ntdll.dll, is such a fundamental part of Windows, that if it were corrupt in any way, you would probably not be able to use your computer at all. So the problem is likely something calling it incorrectly. That, unfortunately, still leaves a lot of possibilities.
Please test online but with no mods or custom content at all, and let me know whether this exact error happens. If the game runs fine, that's your answer.
If you get another crash but a different error, please post the RM info here.
If you get this exact error again, while playing online, let me know what antivirus you use. Please also test with the EA App in offline mode but your computer still online.
- @puzzlezaddict Hi so i tried it with no mods or cc and it still has the blue loading circle when I am closing the game which didn't usually happen before. I downloaded new cc to try and start over and the issue is still happening. i didn't get a crash error from trying with no mods or cc but I got one just before

Faulting package-relative application ID:@Emiii20078 Please try playing in a clean user folder. Move the entire Sims 4 folder out of Documents > Electronic Arts and onto your desktop; if the folder copies instead of moving, or you get an error when trying to move it, stop here and let me know.
Otherwise, when you launch the game, if it launches, a clean folder will spawn with no content. (Your saves and other content will be intact in the folder you moved but temporarily not read by the game.) Don't add anything to the new folder yet; just let me know whether you can get far enough to start a new save and play in live mode for a bit.
- @puzzlezaddict Hi so i tried this and I got a new folder there was no difficulties. I still got the windows loading circle but this was before the game loaded up and i got a white screen, after that it didn't show up and I didn't get any error message. i went into live mode and the game played normally with no error messages. So do i just drag my save files back and readd my cc?
