Sims 4 crashes every time, usually when im doing many tasks?

To clarify: My sims 4 game would crash when i zoom out too fast, or click on anything, or when the ui changes..

I have tried everything, updating my drivers and my pc.. mind you my pc is a beefcake and can handle far cry 6 like its nothing. At first I did have a bunch of mods installed, then I deleted them all, I kept MCCC, the game crashes still.. so, I uninstalled all my mods.. my game crashes anyway.. I've uninstalled and reinstalled my game, same thing... lowkey getting frustrated.. is there anything else that I could do to fix this?

cc or mods removed
crashing
ea app
steam

    gav3107​  Does this happen in a new save too, in one of the base game worlds?  Please try it, and start with fresh sims and a blank or EA-made lot, nothing from the Gallery or your own library.  If that's fine, that suggests the problem is something about your current save.

    If the new save crashes too, please provide a dxdiag.  Click Windows key-R, enter dxdiag in the run box, wait for the scan to finish, click "Save all information," and save the file to your desktop.  From there, you can attach it to a reply using the paper clip (Attachment) icon included with the other formatting buttons.

    gav3107​  Some of the Sims 4 errors in your dxdiag look like what happens on certain high-end Intel processors.  Your i7-13700 isn't usually affected, but it's still worth trying the usual troubleshooting steps for this issue.  First, please update the BIOS for your motherboard.  I believe it's this one:

    But double-check the model before trying to install the newest BIOS.
