JuicyPeachx3 What does it say when it fails to launch? If you're getting an error message now, please post a screenshot.
And to be clear, you did try DirectX 9 mode?
JuicyPeachx3 I apologize for the late reply, and for thinking you had a laptop; I saw the word Omen in your dxdiag and your description of the exact issue these laptops have and just missed the desktop part.
At any rate, the VC++ errors are clear, but they're not necessarily caused by an issue with the runtimes themselves. Mods and custom content can trigger this kind of error, but if you haven't restored the Mods folder, that's obviously not the problem either. I would suggest doing a clean uninstall and reinstall of the graphics driver next, since the driver also has to interact with the runtimes. Here's how:
If that doesn't help either, please try playing in a clean boot:
The one service to leave enabled is the EABackgroundService, which the EA App needs in order to run. Disable the rest as described.
When you reboot your computer, go through the Task Manager's background processes list shutting down any service that doesn't absolutely need to be running, for example anything from MSI Afterburner to RGB software might still be enabled. If you accidentally kill a critical process and it doesn't restart on its own, just reboot your computer again.
Don't open anything other than Sims 4 and the EA App while testing, not even a browser window.
If this helps, you can selectively reenable services until you find the culprit, then either leave that disabled or (if it belongs to an app you want to keep using) let me know what it is so we can try to fix the underlying issue.
If the game freezes or crashes in a clean boot, please try again, except with your computer offline. You can sign into the EA App and put it in offline mode, then disable wifi and/or disconnect the ethernet cable before pressing Play.
If this doesn't help either, please look for new errors in the Reliability Monitor. Hit Windows key-R and enter "perfmon /rel" without quotes, and you'll see a chart of errors and updates with a column for each day. Today is on the right.
Look for an error that happened at exactly the time of your most recent Sims 4 crash. If you find one, double-click it to see more details, then copy that info and paste it into a reply here. If you don't see a new error, check back in an hour or so—the Reliability Monitor doesn't always update right away.
Now it is starting to load out to the main menu but crashes when loading new game
