APPCRASH on game start - Why isn't this probelm getting attention?!
I have seen many posts about similar if not identical issues and have not seen many helpful responses. I have tried many of the suggestions found online and in this forum. I have also tried starting numerous support chat sessions and never get in touch with a support representative.
This has been very frustrating!!! I would appreciate a help from EA.
If I try to launch the game (through Origin or directly) I get a message stating that "The Sims 4 hast stopped working".

An EA community manager has pointed out that errors in Windows 8.1 can relate to shell replacements that modify the core of Windows, such as Start8.
I see you have an error code for XMBC before the TS4 errors, which is a media centre? Is it possible to deactivate XMBC and try to run the game again to see if it is that causing the problems? 🙂
It's got nothing to do with shell replacements. I had one of them say that to me but I have NOTHING like that installed. Truth is they don't have a clue why such large numbers of people are having problems just loading the game.
i have the same problem however the game doesn't crash and i am able to play but when i load game and it gets to main screen there is message i am offline then mouse turns blue and then i get next screen.
Faulting application name: TS4.exe, version: 1.0.625.10, time stamp: 0x53ed5fc4
Faulting module name: TS4.exe, version: 1.0.625.10, time stamp: 0x53ed5fc4
Windows cannot access the file for one of the following reasons: there is a problem with the network connection, the disk that the file is stored on, or the storage drivers installed on this computer; or the disk is missing. Windows closed the program The Sims™ 4 because of this error.
Program: The Sims™ 4
File:
The error value is listed in the Additional Data section.
User Action
1. Open the file again. This situation might be a temporary problem that corrects itself when the program runs again.
2. If the file still cannot be accessed and
- It is on the network, your network administrator should verify that there is not a problem with the network and that the server can be contacted.
- It is on a removable disk, for example, a floppy disk or CD-ROM, verify that the disk is fully inserted into the computer.
3. Check and repair the file system by running CHKDSK. To run CHKDSK, click Start, click Run, type CMD, and then click OK. At the command prompt, type CHKDSK /F, and then press ENTER.
4. If the problem persists, restore the file from a backup copy.
5. Determine whether other files on the same disk can be opened. If not, the disk might be damaged. If it is a hard disk, contact your administrator or computer hardware vendor for further assistance.
