  • 0727808  I've split your post into its own thread.  Did you try a clean user folder?  If not, please do so now:  Move the entire Sims 4 folder out of Documents > Electronic Arts and onto your desktop.  When you launch the game, a clean folder will spawn with no content.  (Your saves and other content will be intact in the folder you've moved but temporarily unread by the game.)  Don't add anything to the new folder yet; just start a new save and see how it runs, that is if you can get that far.

    If you get another black screen, 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.  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.

    So I tried the clean user folder method it didnt work, I got another black screen, so I tried the Reliability Monitor thing. I checked it an hour later when I first tried to open it today and I didnt see any errors or anything today. I did find an error from yesterday when i first tried to open the game saying the EA app crashed.
