@mpbx5295 That's good. How does Sims 4 run now? Does it crash if you have no mods or custom content present? If so, please try playing in a clean boot:
The one service to leave enabled is the EABackgroundService, which the EA App needs in order to run. Disable the rest as described.
When you reboot your computer, go through the Task Manager's background processes list shutting down any service that doesn't absolutely need to be running, for example anything from MSI Afterburner to RGB software might still be enabled. If you accidentally kill a critical process and it doesn't restart on its own, just reboot your computer again.
Don't open any other programs while testing, just the EA App and Sims 4.
If that doesn't help either, please look for new errors in the Reliability Monitor. Hit 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 most recent crash, specifically while you were playing in the clean boot. 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 only mods I have are MC Command Center and UI Cheats but I do have a fair bit of CC. I tried the 2 mods by themselves and it didn't crash. However, when I added my CC back in, it crashed just like before. Should I still try a clean boot?

@mpbx5295 No, it sounds like the custom content is the issue. If you have a lot to sort through, use the 50/50 method:

The point of the clean boot would be to determine whether some other application is interfering with Sims 4, but you've established the cause is your cc, so that's where to look.
