May or may not be a solution, but I found this thread:
https://answers.ea.com/t5/PC/python37-x64-dll-errors/m-p/13982688/highlight/true#M283267
And turned off my CPU's turbo boost in the BIOS and suddenly the game is stable and working again. We will see if this continues, but if anyone comes looking, I'll leave this here. I suspect this is an ASUS issue -.-
@SimsSeer I'm glad you found that thread, as the recommendation has helped almost everyone who's showed up with your class of CPU and this particular error. It's not an Asus issue so much as a platform stability issue with 13th- and 14th-gen K-series processors. What I believe is that by default, most performance-tier motherboards overclock the CPUs as much as they can without frying the chips, and that's too much for Sims 4 even if other applications are fine.
A BIOS update may fix the problem if and when Asus offers one for your particular board that's specifically targeted at platform stability. I have had a few users report that they could reenable XMP and CPU Turbo Boost after installing the relevant update. So keep an eye out for newer BIOS versions.
That is good insight, thank you. Having a 14900k is awesome in many ways but can make older games have issues. Sims 3 had to have the alder lake patch etc.
I currently have XMP turned off anyways as well bc of crashing issues unrelated to sims.I have the ROG Maximus Z790 Formula mobo. There is a slightly newer BIOS update available for it but I didn’t want to use it yet. The one I have right now is from August (1503) but the new one from September (1602) is still in Beta so I’m not going to use it yet.
Hopefully this issue is resolved one day, but for now the game runs pretty flawlessly so far with the CPU turbo boost turned off.
