@Kyllexx Is there any pattern to the crashing, for example during a travel transition or when you're playing on a certain lot? Let me know if you can think of anything at all.
In the interim, please try playing in a clean boot.
Leave the EABackgroundService enabled, which the EA App needs to run, but disable everything else as described. When you reboot, go through the Task Manager's background procesess list shutting down everything that doesn't absolutely need to be enabled: anything from MSI Afterburner to RGB software might still be active. If you accidentally kill the wrong process and it doesn't restart on its own, just reboot your computer again. Please also put the EA App in offline mode before launching the game.
So unfortunately I did the clean reboot and the crash still happened. I have updated my game with the most recent update. Still no pattern to the crashes and like I said earlier it just quits out to the desktop - no blue screens/freezes/etc. I attached the updated dxdiag.
@Kyllexx I'd like to see the results of some hardware monitoring. Please download hwinfo (it's free) from here:
https://www.hwinfo.com/download/
You don't need to install anything; just choose the Portable version, unzip it, and launch it from Downloads or wherever you like. If you do want the full installer, be sure to click the button for hwinfo itself, not for lansweeper.
Restart your computer, open hwinfo, choose Sensors Only, and click the button that's a sheet of paper with a + to start logging. Save the log file to your desktop for easy access. Wait five minutes, then open Sims 4 and play until it crashes. Don't alt-tab out of the game or run any other programs, aside from the EA App of course, while you're testing. When you're done, click the same button to stop the logging; if your entire computer crashes, the log should be intact up until that point.
Please upload the log to the third-party filesharing site of your choice (Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.) and link it for me. Either leave it in .csv format or, if you're going to use OneDrive, create a .zip file, and don't open the log before uploading it, or else my log reader might not be able to interpret it.
Apologies for the delay. I appreciate all of your help so far. Here is the link to the requested file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pa8NWfUT5tlTdwKvQXhU1YgkzRnPVYx6/view?usp=sharing
Hi, just hoping you are still able to help! I would love to be able to play my game. Thank you!!
