Game crashes after opening animation

LostForce15​  Thanks for the dxdiag, which shows that the Windows USB-C driver is crashing over and over.  (In fact, this has crowded out any other errors that might exist.)  Do you have any USB-C devices plugged in, and if so, does the game run without these?  I realize you might not want to play without, say, your external mouse, but it's worth testing at least.

If that doesn't help, please look for new errors in the Reliability Monitor.  Click Windows key-R and enter perfmon /rel in the run box, 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.

Thanks for your response. Nothing plugged into the USB-C ports, the crash still happens. Here are screenshots of the relability monitor from yesterday (5/25) and today. There are several critical events from yesterday which is when i first encountered the issue. 

LostForce15​  For the failed Windows updates and any other system issues, please run a couple of basic checks of your Windows system files:

• Click Windows key-X and select "Powershell (Administrator)" or "Windows Terminal (Administrator)" , whichever you see
• In the window that appears, copy and paste "DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth" without quotes, and enter
• The system will take a little while to validate; if it throws an error, please list it
• Otherwise, copy and paste "sfc /scannow" without quotes into the window, and enter
• Post the message you receive

Restart your computer, open Windows Settings > Update & Security, click the box to check for updates, and if any install, restart again afterwards.

If you get more Nvidia Container errors, please do a clean uninstall and reinstall of the graphics driver, as described here:

However, I'm beginning to wonder whether Sims 4 might not get along with the newest Nvidia drivers.  It's just a theory at this point, but I would suggest installing a slightly older driver first.  It's easy to update (the normal way) from there, but going backwards requires using DDU again.  You can get older drivers here:

I would try version 591.46, from January 27, since the next driver afterwards was a major update (you can tell from the version numbers).  You'll want a Game Ready Driver, not a Studio version.

If this doesn't help either, I'd also like to know what the "Microsoft Windows O..." entries are in your second screenshot, both the full title and the technical details.  Right-click the error name to get more info.
