@deblake60 Please disable Game Mode and Game Bar, under Windows Settings > Gaming. A component of one of these crashed at least once, so it's worth trying.
Please also uninstall the EA App with Revo Uninstaller (the free version is fine), and restart your computer before reinstalling the App. Choose the Intensive scanning mode if Revo asks. Use a fresh copy of the App installer.
And just because it's simple to do, try forcing the game to open in windowed mode. Open Options.ini, in Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4, search for fullscreen , and set it to 0 (zero).
Please try both with and without the -dx9 command line argument.
If none of this helps, please create a new admin Windows account and try playing there. Make it local, as in, don't link it to your Microsoft account. You'll be able to (try to) launch Sims 4 without reinstalling anything.
The next step would be to clean-uninstall Sims 4 with Revo as well. Be sure to rename the Sims 4 user folder, in your main Windows account, so Revo doesn't nuke it as well, that is if you'd like to preserve your saves and other user data. When reinstalling the game, create a new folder on the root level of the drive of your choice, for example C:\Games is fine, but not C:\Program Files\Games, and install Sims 4 there.
After many videos, trails, and errors after creating a new local admin and removing all my mods redownloading EA and the Sims 4 along with all my packs it finally worked thank you
