@SimSiili I would say the same thing in your position, except probably a lot less politely (in private at least). What I'd suggest is waiting for at least a few hours of playtime before concluding that this issue is fixed, just in case. I can still look at a crash dump if you want—maybe it'll point to something specific and helpful.
If you're itching to try something else, you can try installing an older Nvidia graphics driver. You'll need to clean-uninstall your current version first. Please use this method:
You can find older Nvidia drivers here, after inputting your GPU specs:

The Game Ready Drivers (the type you want) go back to April, which is still recent enough to be compatible with Sims 4. Any time you're installing an older driver, you'll need to DDU the newer one first, so if you're going to try multiple versions, I'd start with the oldest you might use and work your way forward from there.
Inside my head I am less polite, cursing in Finnish which is to my understanding one of the best languages to curse in. I am revealing my age here but I told my little sister that now I really understand why my niece, 13, looses her cool immediately if she can't play her Genshin Impact!
Aaanyway, I will play more with the Intel and perhaps in a day or two try the older NVIDIA driver. I am so out of my league with all this, but your instructions are very clear and helpful.
Here is a link for the crash dump zip-files: https://we.tl/t-ixgOh90LdB Please prioritize other players that cannot access their game at all before spending more time with my issue. 🙂 Have a happy Sunday ahead and greetings from Finland!
Oh shoot. Unfortunately this version can not handle even the basic (and in my eyes must-have) mods of Peacemaker, Pierism, Harrie et al., so to me it is unplayable. As soon as I move the mods to the mods folder the game becomes unresponsive. The old saves and tray files it handles ok.
Repairing did not help, and I am too old and tired to try anything else now (oh the drama)...
I'll try installing the older versions of the NVIDIA drivers next week. 🙂
