arismile89 If you use any mods or custom content at all, please move the Mods folder to the desktop and delete localthumbcache.package. You don't need to save your progress; this is just for testing. And if you have any files in ConfigOverride, please delete them.
If that doesn't help or isn't relevant, please try playing in a clean user folder. Move the entire Sims 4 folder out of Documents > Electronic Arts and onto your desktop. When you launch the game, a clean folder will spawn with no content. (Your saves and other content will be intact in the folder you've moved but temporarily unread by the game.) Don't add anything to the new folder yet; just start a new save and see how it runs.
If you get another crash, please provide a dxdiag. Hit Windows key-R, enter dxdiag in the run box, wait for the scan to finish, click "Save all information," and save the file to your desktop. From there, you can attach it to a reply using the camera (Insert Media) icon included with the other formatting buttons.
I tried attaching it and it would not allow me to.
so here is the begining of it.
