Sims 4 crashes after update
Today morning I played sims just fine with no problems, I updated sims 4 & I tried playing afterwards again but when EA logo comes on startup I get a message from windows stating sims 4 has stopped working & gives the option to close program down. I contacted EA twice but their help was no good. I did a clean boot, reset game without uninstalling, tried going offline mode etc. but unfortunately nothing worked. does anyone have an idea what it can be? i'll insert my dxdiag if its any help. Ive been trying to figure this out since noon & its about to be 11p.m
- If you've recently tested your mods and custom content to make sure they're up to date with the latest game patch, you may need to clear your game cache and delete the localthumbcache.package from the Sims 4 folder to help with troubleshooting.

Custom content can become outdated with most new game patches. If the game works when the Mods folder is removed, then one or more of the mods and/or custom content has become outdated and will need to be removed or replaced. -- EA/Maxis aren't responsible for broken mods/cc. It's up to the creators to fix.Have you tried updating your graphics drivers and turning off Origin in-game?

Turn off Origin In-Game:
Open Origin, Select Origin > Application Settings > Origin In Game tab and click the on/off switch to disable Origin In Game. - This deactivates Origin In-Game, as it has been known to cause problems with games.
