@friedn00dles666 All the crashes listed in your dxdiag are from Sims 3, and they're all because of the Alder Lake issue covered here:
If you'd like to get Sims 3 running, choose one of the workarounds in the accepted solution on page one and apply it to TS3W.exe, with the W.
For Sims 4, please look for new errors in the Reliability Monitor. Hit Windows key-R and enter "perfmon /rel" without quotes, and you'll see a chart of errors and updates with a column for each day. Today is on the right.
Look for an error that happened at exactly the time of your most recent Sims 4 crash, or the most recent Sims 4 error listed. If you find one, double-click it to see more details, then copy that info and paste it into a reply here. If you don't see a new error, check back in an hour or so—the Reliability Monitor doesn't always update right away.
If you don't remember exactly when Sims 4 last crashed, and you don't see any entries that mention Sims 4, run the game again, and after it crashes, look again.
oops, i am so sorry about that. i reckon you can see there i switched from one game to the other while waiting for a solution overnight. to be quite clear I had found a workaround and am all good on sims 3 on my own, despite what my dxdiag attachment offered there accidentally lol.
as for the Sims 4 problem at hand, i tried the command you wrote out and pulled up the reliability monitor with no issues, but i can't seem to find Sims 4 in the list as i'd set TS4 aside when the issues hit their peak now about 48 or so hours ago. I will make a note to return to this post to provide that information once i have a chance to sit down and load up my game again.
i appreciate your patience on this matter. i've never had to post so much to here over the years before this issue now so i am still learning my way around.
