    puzzlezaddict​ here is the screenshot of what was displayed, up to installing the drivers, thanks so much 

  • ddario1984​  The Sims 4 errors in your dxdiag reference a component of the .NET Frameworks, and the dxdiag also lists separate crashes of the graphics driver.  So please start with a couple of basic checks of your Windows system files, the latter of which would repair most .NET issues.  Here's how:

    • 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.

    Next, please do a clean uninstall and reinstall of the graphics driver, as described here:

    Rather than reinstalling the current driver, try this one, from January 27:

    The next driver after this was a major update, and while it might be fine, I've been seeing more crashing than usual lately and mostly on the current driver or one version back.  And it's easy to update to a new driver, while going backwards would require using DDU again.
