    Hey all,

    We're locking this thread and starting up a new one here as we've released a patch that impacts how DirectX 11 and The Sims 4 function together.

    Please use the thread linked above going forward.

    Thanks!

Platform:
Which language are you playing the game in?

English
How often does the bug occur?

Since i enabled DX11
What is your current game version number?

The current one
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed?

All of them
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves?
What happens when the bug occurs?

So i can load the game and like someone else said i cant click on other tabs, it stays on the sims page. But the crashing happens when i travel to other lots. I removed all my mods and its still doing it. Its only when i make a new save (also without mods)  that i can travel.
What do you expect to see?
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods?

i use mods but i removed them

ps. i tried repairing my game deleting the cache etc.

      @dadachorna Go to the "advanced launch options" where you went to add the -dx11 argument, but this time remove that argument and save your changes. Your game will now launch as normal.
