scorpiosunx Most of the errors in your dxdiag are Sims 4 crashes that point to a VC++ runtime. But if these were missing or totally corrupt, the game wouldn't work at all. And practically speaking, when this kind of error shows up and Sims 4 is launching initially, the issue is usually a bad mod or custom content item, not the runtimes or the game itself.
So please test with your Mods folder removed. You don't have to save your progress.
As to why this could have happened without your adding any content, it's not uncommon for cc to have no effect on the game until a sim is wearing it, or the wrong sim is wearing it. It's also possible for a mod to only break the game when a certain feature of that mod is invoked.
Do you know what type of mods usually do this? I’m not getting any from better exceptions and all of them are up to date. I’m also not sure how I’d do the 50/50 method if it happens randomly. Not on load up or anything.
