Re: HELP sims 4 random shutdown/crash

@Hjortborg  Please do all of this, together, to be as thorough as possible:

  • Move your entire Sims 4 folder out of Documents\Electronic Arts and onto your desktop so the game can spawn a new one; don't add anything to the new folder.
  • Clear Origin's cache and repair the game: open your Origin game library, right-click on the Sims 4 icon, and select Repair.
  • Put Origin in offline mode before trying to play.
  • Before launching the game, go through the Task Manager's background services list and close any other processes that don't absolutely need to be running, for example Discord or RGB control software.

If you get another crash, let me know what was happening in-game at the time and how long you were able to play before it crashed.
