Re: Re: sims 4 crashing no error message

@4GWM  Please update the driver for your graphics card.  Although the current driver isn't that old, breakpoint errors, which is what you're getting with Sims 4, can be caused by an outdated, incompatible, or corrupt driver, among other things.  You can get the newest driver here:

https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/197300/en-us/

Run the installer as an admin: right-click on the download and select "Run as administrator."  Choose the Custom (as opposed to Express) install, and check the box to performn a clean install.  Restart your computer when you're done.

If this doesn't help, please test a new save in a clean user folder.  Move the entire Sims 4 folder out of Documents > Electronic Arts and onto your desktop, and when you launch the game, a clean folder will spawn with no content.  Don't add anything to it yet; just start a new save and see how it runs.  I'd test for at least half an hour given the previous rate of crashing.  You don't really need to play the game actively; if you prefer, you can just let it run, unpaused, while you do other things.  But please do travel once or twice to make sure that's working properly.

If you can play the new save with no issues, please copy over one of your saves from the old Sims 4 folder, but nothing else yet.  Since you're copying rather than moving the save, you don't need to worry about the effects of the missing mods—the original save will be intact in the folder you moved along with all your other content.  Here again, let it run for a while, whether you're actively playing or not.  Let me know how it goes.
