    @8gjwgawpa9ym  A component of Windows 10 is crashing, over and over.  I can't tell whether this is related to your Sims 4 issues, but it should be addressed regardless.

    • Hit Windows key-X
    • Choose either “PowerShell (Administrator)” or “Command prompt (Administrator),” whichever option is offered
    • Inside the window that appears, copy and paste “DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth” without quotes into the window, and enter
    • The system will start validating soon. If it throws an error, please list it here
    • After it reaches 100%, hit Windows key-X again
    • Again, choose “PowerShell (Administrator)” or “Command prompt (Administrator)”
    • Inside the window, copy and paste “sfc /scannow” without quotes into the window, and enter
    • Post the message you receive here

    Restart your computer, and try to play.  If you can't, please let me know, and also list any third-party antivirus program you use, e.g. Avast or AVG.
