Hello,
I've done precisely what you instructed and unfortunately had no luck whatsoever.
I've attached the most recent DxDiag.
Just like before, I launch, it reaches the Sims 4 logo and just as the mouse changes to the standard white Sims mouse, it crashes.
If it helps, the logo is slightly fuzzy, the resolution isn't perfect. I assume this is normal.
In total, I've uninstalled the games at least a dozen times over the last two months.
Let me know what we should try next! Thanks
@BUCKTOOTH20021 These are the same errors you've had since the original dxdiag, which is not surprising but also a bit unusual considering they're typically resolved by the steps I listed. This could be a Windows issue though, so please run a repair install of Windows, as described here:

This shouldn't delete any of your data, but if you get to step 13 and are NOT asked to keep personal files and apps, back out and start over. Then try again in a normal boot, and if that doesn't work, in a clean boot with your computer offline.
The logo does look a bit fuzzy at certain resolutions, but if you want a second opinion on whether yours is excessively fuzzy, feel free to post a screenshot. Another cause of excessive fuzziness is using an in-game resolution that doesn't match your screen, which runs at 1920x1080.
- 9 months ago@puzzlezaddict Hi, I've followed your instructions but unfortunately I am still without luck. Now the EA site won't allow me to reply with attachments. Once this is fixed I will attach a crash report / event file.
I'm really starting to wonder what the issue is.- puzzlezaddict9 months agoHero+
@BUCKTOOTH20021 If you're using Quick Reply rather than Reply, that explains why attachments don't work. Otherwise, you can upload any relevant files to a third-party hosting site (e.g. Google Drive) and link them here. Make sure that anyone with the link can view them.
When you're able, I would also like a new dxdiag so I can ask for a second opinion if necessary.

Excellent, it's working now.
I've attached the most recent DXDIAG & Event viewer - I launched it on a clean boot.

Additionally, I've run windows memory diagnostics as the only change I made to my hardware was adding RAM. It was around the same time SIMS started to crash. However, no faults were found whatsoever.
Windows 10 has been updated & is now on a new M.2 drive. I also ran a repair of windows, no luck.
Let me know what we shall try next. Thank you again!
Kind regards,
