Re: Sims 4 breakdown point crash

Hello! I am having the same problem. Can you please help, because I am losing all hope here, and Sims 4 is a safe activity for me when my disabilities act up.

  • @LittleManiac59  Your dxdiag lists a number of crashes of the Nvidia overlay.  If you've been trying to use it, avoid it for now.  If that doesn't help, please do a clean uninstall and reinstall of the Nvidia graphics driver, as described here:

    When reinstalling the driver, do not also reinstall GeForce Experience.  You may need to choose the Custom rather than Express install method.  You can always install GFE later, but please test Sims 4 without it.

    When testing Sims 4, please open it immediately after restarting your computer, with nothing else running in the background.

    If that doesn't help, please let me know whether you're still getting a breakpoint error or something else.
