thelibratine When your game ran fine after the clean folder but started crashing again the next day, did you add back any mods or custom content in the interim? If so, that's the first place to look. It only takes one bad mod or cc item to bork a game. And either type could be fine, causing no visible symptoms until the game tries to use its content, for example when a sim shows up wearing the bad cc.
Having said that, your dxdiag does list some crashes of the graphics driver. So regardless of the above, you'll want to clean-uninstall and reinstall the Nvidia driver. Please do so exactly as described here:
The Intel driver is typically not the problem in these cases, but if you get another crash of the same type after doing both of the above, try clean-uninstalling both drivers before reinstalling them. This time, use the drivers Asus provides for your laptop; you can update the Nvidia driver later. Go here:

Select the BIOS model as FX516PE if asked, and grab the newest Intel and Nvidia drivers under Graphics. The proper order of operations is uninstall the Nvidia driver > uninstall the Intel driver > restart > reinstall the Intel driver > restart > reinstall the Nvidia driver > restart, all while your computer is offline.
