Has anyone had issues with the game crashing a few minutes in EVERY TIME since the newest update? In all my years of playing the sims 4 ive been lucky enough to never have frequent crashing issues. Is it me or is did EA mess up their game EVEN MORE with the newest update?
Yes. It’s starting to be annoying
Yes, even without any mods or cc it still crashes. I don't know what's going on.
My game won’t even open ☹️
I’m also having issues opening the game. The game will turn on and then crash at the first loading screen. I uninstalled and redownloaded the game that didn’t work. I restarted my device, that didn’t help. I took out all of my mods and even tried to add more storage to my device and nothing has worked. My game was fine before the major update.

As a test, please try playing in a clean user folder. Move the entire Sims 4 folder out of Documents > Electronic Arts and onto your desktop. When you launch the game, if it launches, a clean folder will spawn with no content. (Your saves and other content will be intact in the folder you've moved but temporarily unread by the game.) Don't add anything to the new folder yet; just start a new save and see how it runs, that is if you can get that far.
If this doesn't help, please provide a dxdiag. Click Windows key-R, enter dxdiag in the run box, wait for the scan to finish, click "Save all information," and save the file to your desktop. From there, you can attach it to a reply using the paper clip (Attachment) icon included with the other formatting buttons.
I would also be happy to see any of you (other than the OP) create your own thread posting a dxdiag and the results of the clean folder test. It's difficult to troubleshoot generic crashing issues with a number of people in one thread at the same time. And there are lots of reasons this game might crash, so it's unlikely that one suggestion will help more than one or two of you.
Yes. Mine does it to in build mode.
I can put in some things, but others things I cant put in without it crashing.
Like top cabinents for the kitchen, as soon as I click on one, it crashes.
Or a dresser I cant put in either. I never know now which one of the items I can use and which one makes it crash. Its been like this for 3 days now. I have to save after each item I put in. I have re-installed all of it and nothing works.
Kiradjeppesen Please force the game to run in DirectX 11 mode. Open the EA App, click Sims 4 > Manage > View properties, and add -dx11 to the command line box.
If that doesn't help, please provide a dxdiag, as described above.
I tired running in dx11, didnt work. Still couldnt place items without it crashing.
I have run the DXdiag.
also, have tried deleting all my files under the app - moved them to a backup folder. and then started a whole new game.
In that new game it works.
So I would assume my saved file is corrupted. Can that be fixed? I dont want to lose the game I have saved 😂
omg I came over here to see if anyone was having the same issue! I removed all my mods and even uninstalled Reshade and it's still crashing. My game crashes as soon as it leaves the booting-up screen with the game title. Man, what a disappointment. I hope they figure it out soon, but I'll back up my files just in case the game comes back as a clean slate.
