Crashing minutes later during gameplay

I feel like I keep ending up in a horrible, endless loop, and I'm getting so tired of it. I've been using constant 50/50 methods to determine what is causing my game to crash, and I've performed mult...

    Cookie_Heartss_​  Thanks for the dxdiag, which shows one obvious issue: your C drive is very low on free space.  I don't know that this is causing the Sims 4 crashes, but it's certainly a problem in general . Please try to clear at least another 20 GB, for 25 total free, and see whether that helps.

    If you get another crash, please let me know what world(s) you're playing in and whether the game runs better in one of the base game worlds.  Test with your Mods folder removed or renamed (same effect) for now; you don't need to save your progress.  I'm not saying you can't use your existing mods or custom content, only that we need to figure out whether the mods and cc are the cause of the crashing.

    Hey, thanks for responding! I've been curious about how to clear up my C drive because I think my Sims 4 files may be going to it instead when I downloaded it on my E drive. Maybe that's why it's so full, because I don't have any big apps or files to take over storage on my C drive. Is there a way I can make sure it can only go to my other E drive?

    I believe it is a mod, but I have 12k files in my mods folder, and it would take days to figure it out! In the meantime, I will be trying out your method. Thank you!
