  • well the only thing i can tell you is the same that every sims sup agent will tell you

    check if you machine support the minimum specs for the game
    check if your drivers are up date
    uninstall/backup all your mods or move to other folder
    repair the installation of the game and fresh run the game

    if at this point the game still crash delete all files in %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 (you can write this in search bar of windows and will go to your sims folder in English) try run the game again

    if at any point you game run again congrats if not you will need a technician because it could be your PC

    OK I will try all of this I appreciate you responding <3

  • Liyahcole​  You don't need to delete the Sims 4 folder in Documents > Electronic Arts.  This folder holds your saves and other user data, so you might not want to lose it.  Instead, you can simply move or rename the folder.  If that works, the problem is something in that folder.

    If you still can't play, 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.
