Can someone help me with this? I'll gladly appreciate it. My sims 4 household keeps on crashing Everytime I load into it. I've reset it, played with no cc or mods, and I've done everything to fix ...

@IIrjvcII Did you confirm that your game is on the latest patch level, 1.63.36.1010? If not, let me know.
Since sfc repaired all the corrupt files it found, you don't need to worry about attaching the log. Try playing again, in another clean Sims 4 folder (don't add anything to it), and see whether it works. If it doesn't, repair the game, then try again.
If it still crashes, please enable crash logs, then try to play again. Here's how:
- Hit the Windows key, type "command prompt" in the box, right-click on Command Prompt in the search results, and select Run as Administrator
- In the window, paste "reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\LocalDumps\devenv.exe" /v DumpType /d 2 /t REG_DWORD" without the outside quotes into the box, and enter
- Launch Sims 4 and wait for it to crash (whether you can play at all or not)
- After it crashes, wait for any crash dialogs to finish
- Then hit Windows key-R and paste "%LOCALAPPDATA%\CrashDumps" without quotes into the box, and enter
- Upload the last .dmp file to a third-party filehosting site (Google Drive, Dropbox, whatever you want) and link it here
- When you want to undo the auto crash log dumps, open Command Prompt as before, paste "reg delete "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\LocalDumps" /f" without the outside quotes, and enter.
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1fhMIced9TWnT6Zu1n35ZMD1zJy6CXIAn?usp=sharing this is the dmp file. when i relaunched the game, this time it made me re-log into origin, too. but it only happened once. i don't know if at this point, i should just uninstall and re-install the game..
@IIrjvcII I don't have access to the file, sorry. There should be a way to make it public in Google Drive, but right now, it's asking me to sign in, and since I'm not you, I can't see it.

@IIrjvcII Yes, this one came through fine. It's an element of the game itself crashing, not anything on your system. So please clear Origin's cache and repair again, even if you did it before. Sometimes this doesn't work on the first try, for whatever reason.

If that doesn't help, please move the entire Sims 4 folder out of Documents\Electronic Arts and onto your desktop, and when you launch the game, a clean folder will spawn with no content. Don't add anything to it yet; just see whether you can start a new save and play for a bit. Let me know either way.
There are certainly more invasive troubleshooting steps to try, but hopefully one of the simpler ones works instead.
I did what you said and is still didn't work, I tried to go into build mode instead and it still crashed. It seems that no matter what i do it won't work. I don't know if it helps at all but it also takes a lot longer to load.
ok, so i am currently re-installing the game but i did create a backup folder on my desktop just in case.
@IIrjvcII Let me know if the reinstall doesn't help. The crash dump says the game, or an element of it, attempted to execute at a non-executable memory address, so the most likely suspect is TS4 itself. However, the problem could also be one of the runtimes the game uses, or even other system issues that wouldn't seem related.
Please let me know if you've overclocked any components as well.
Okay so, I managed to finally get the sims to work. I had to uninstall and re-install origin about 5 times and then do the same for the sims 4 because it kept saying error and then a serial of numbers. I use re-shade and that's what the problem was, i think, because i recently updated it and it started to go hay-wire after that. But thank you so so much for helping me these past days!
