@bcarlso88 If you have a Steam account, I'd suggest installing the free 3DMark demo and running Time Spy and Firestrike. This is not only about the scores, it's also about pushing the GPU, and to a lesser extent the CPU, to the limit.
I would suggest installing hwinfo as well and having it open (to Sensors Only) when running the benchmarks. This will lower the scores very slightly, but the point here is to check CPU and GPU temperatures and to look for any other red flags as well. Hwinfo shows the max value for each category, and an excessively high or dangerous reading shows up in red, so you could scroll through the data afterwards to see if anything needs to be addressed. The free download is here:
https://www.hwinfo.com/download/
Choose the portable version or the full installer, whichever you prefer, and make sure to click the button for hwinfo itself, not for one of the other downloads.
I'd like to see an hwinfo log from Sims 4 as well. Restart your computer, open hwinfo, choose Sensors Only, and click the button that's a sheet of paper with a + to start logging. Save the log file to your desktop for easy access. Wait five minutes, then open Sims 4 and play until you get a crash. Don't alt-tab out of the game or run any other programs, aside from the EA App of course, while you're testing. When you're done, click the same button to stop the logging.
Please upload the log to the third-party filesharing site of your choice (Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.) and link it for me. Either leave it in .csv format or, if you're going to use OneDrive, create a .zip file, and don't open the log before uploading it, or else my log reader might not be able to interpret it.
