Sims 4 - Crashing with and without mods
e6libqcnw8jv Sorry for the late-ish reply; I ran out of time for the forums yesterday. Anyway, most of the WERs in your dxdiag are crashes of the graphics driver, so I'd suggest a clean uninstall (with Display Driver Uninstaller) and reverting to an older driver, maybe the one from mid-March, which seems to have been stable in that Nvidia didn't update it for a while. You're probably familiar with DDU, but in case you're not, or in case someone else reads this:
You can get older drivers here:

Choose Game Ready Driver as the Download Type to be able to go back further.
If that doesn't help, this error:

P10:is associated with 13th/14th-gen, i7 or i9, K-series Intel CPUs that the motherboard may overclock by default to the point of instability. The problem setting is called CPU Turbo Boost in most cases (Asus has a slightly different name, I think, but still with Turbo in the name) and is in the BIOS Advanced settings. Sometimes a BIOS update fixes the issue, but when it doesn't, disabling this setting usually addresses it.
As for why only Sims 4 is affected (as far as I know), I have no idea. I know this was a problem for more applications a year ago, to the point that Intel updated the microcode specifically to address it, but why Sims 4 is sometimes still affected is a mystery to me.
And of course your CPU temps spiking to 100 C is a bad thing regardless of why it's happening. I'd be curious to know whether disabling the BIOS setting prevents these spikes entirely or only lowers the peak temperatures.
