Re: Sims 4 crashes when loading into household
@IIrjvcII Yes, you did it correctly. The Sims 4 crashes aren't all that specific, so it's difficult to point to a particular cause. There are also a few nonspecific system errors listed.
So it's best to start with a couple of checks on your Windows system files. Here's how:
- Hit Windows key-X
- Choose either “PowerShell (Administrator)” or “Command prompt (Administrator),” whichever option is offered
- Inside the window that appears, copy and paste “DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth” without quotes into the window, and enter
- The system will start validating soon. If it throws an error, please list it here
- After it reaches 100%, hit Windows key-X again
- Again, choose “PowerShell (Administrator)” or “Command prompt (Administrator)”
- Inside the window, copy and paste “sfc /scannow” without quotes into the window, and enter
- Post the message you receive here
Clear Origin's cache as well:

Restart your computer, and repair the game, even if you've done it before: open your Origin game library, right-click on the Sims 4 icon, and select Repair.
Trash the new Sims 4 folder that you created, and let the game spawn another new one. Try to start a new save, and let me know whether it works.
