CRASHES WITH NEW LAPTOP

I have been using Sims 4 on my 13 year old pc. The hard drive stopped. I purchased an Acer Predator Helios 18 gaming laptop. Now after reinstalling it on my new laptop it crashes shortly after going into create a sim. Within 5 minutes of making my sim it crashes. I have tried just starting the create a sim and leaving it sit. It doesn't crash until I start making my sim. I have read previous posts and tried following directions, even for a clean start. NOTHING WORKS. 

My dxdiag
