My sims 4 keeps crashing on the loading screen

@AngryFemiKeagan  You really can't extract it to anywhere else?  If not, try moving the download out of Downloads first, then extracting it.

You don't technically need to be offline when extracting DDU; that's only necessary later, when you're using it to remove the driver.  The point is to prevent Windows from downloading what it thinks is a suitable driver before you have a chance to manually install the one you want.
