My Game Won’t Load
I keep trying to open the sims 4 and it tries to open but then just goes back to the EA app. I have tired to repair, uninstall and reinstall, and take all my mods out and I can’t figure it out! Pleas...
@maggie_p139 Your dxdiag crashed when running, so it's a good idea to run a couple of basic checks of your Windows system files:
Restart your computer, hit Windows key-i, select Update & Security, and click the box to check for updates. If any install, restart again afterwards.
Please also manually reinstall DirectX 9, as described here:

And disable Game Mode and Game Bar, both under Windows Settings > Gaming, as well.
If none of this helps, please post a new dxdiag.
This was the error shown when I copied the message and entered.
"Error: 740
