Game keeps crashing
Ever since the last update, the game crashes randomly while I'm in playing. There doesn't seem to be a pattern to it. The screen goes black, there's a noise and mouse movement as if something is tr...

rachel0526 You did it right, but your dxdiag doesn't show any obvious reason why Sims 4 would be crashing. I do see a number of crashes; it's just that the data associated with them is too generic to be of any use on its own. So some experimenting is in order.
First, try playing with your computer offline. You can sign into the EA App and put it in offline mode, then disable wifi and/or disconnect the ethernet cable before pressing Play.
If that doesn't help, 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 anything other than Sims 4 and the EA App while testing, not even a browser window.
If this helps, you can selectively reenable services until you find the culprit, then either leave that disabled or (if it belongs to an app you want to keep using) let me know what it is so we can try to fix the underlying issue. If the clean boot doesn't help, try it again but with your computer offline.
