Re: The Sims 4 Crashing Consistently Since March 14th
@storybookwhims Okay, it may be time for a more serious intervention here. First though, try doing a clean uninstall and reinstall of your graphics driver. Download a fresh copy of the driver listed for Picasso/Dali (your laptop's processor is in the Dali family) from the HP product page you linked me before. Then use this guide to clean uninstall and reinstall the driver:
Restart after installing and before trying to play.
If that doesn't help, I think it's best to do a repair install of Windows, given the types of errors that keep showing up. Here's how:

However, your laptop's SSD is low enough on storage that I wouldn't recommend running the process using an ISO, at least not as-is. Either clear at least another 12-15 GB space, or use the tool to create a USB install medium as linked in the guide below. For the latter, all you'll need is a USB device with at least 4 GB storage and that you don't mind erasing. Even with the USB, I'd recommend clearing as much space as you reasonably can—while it's possible to repair-install Windows 10 from USB with so little free storage, Windows 11 might be more finicky. But the process will check your free storage anyway, so you'll just get an error if you don't have enough.
This process allows you to keep all your personal files and programs, but if you get to step 14 and do NOT see the option to keep your personal data, back out and start over.
