Re: The Sims 4 Crashing Consistently Since March 14th

I am having the same issues. Crashes at the loading screen. I've tried lots of things, complete uninstall and reinstall of Sims and Origin.

/scanhealth says no corruption detected

scannow did not find any integrity violations

I attached DxDiag

these are the faults it throws:

  • @jjcooke0805  I've split your post into its own thread.  It's easier for me to keep the details straight—not only system info but what's already been suggested—this way, especially because your problem is likely different than the other player's.

    On that note, the second error you've listed, which repeats several times in your dxdiag, is usually related to Razer software.  So try closing any Razer processes in the Task Manager before you play.  You may need to go through the entire background processes list to get them all.  If you're not sure what something is and it doesn't belong to AMD or Nvidia, there's not much harm in killing it: if it turns out to be critical and doesn't restart itself automatically, just reboot your computer.

    Thank you for your help.

    I went through looking for anything related to my Razer keyboard and quit the service/process. Then I uninstalled the Razer synapse service and switched to a new keyboard.

    reran restore health and an Avast system cleanup.

    Restarted the system

    Sims is still crashing at the load screen.

    also included a new dxdiag

    This was the fault:
