NordicGingerSnap I don't see any BlueScreens in your dxdiag, just a generic Sims 4 error that wouldn't shut down your computer. So it's possible the shutdown isn't a BSOD but rather something else.
As a test, please try playing with the laptop running on battery. This will throttle performance, which is the point of the test—I'd like to know whether you can play for longer before the laptop shuts down. You don't need to drain the battery entirely; just see whether there's a difference, then quit.
If your laptop does shut down again, please look for new errors in the Reliability Monitor. Click Windows key-R and enter "perfmon /rel" without quotes, 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 the shutdown, or right after the restart. 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.
The game did shut down again. Once immediately upon launch and then I was able to play for a little bit after trying again. This is the only problem that it could find.
