JyNxYmIsTy This is another access violation, still too generic to help here (when mods aren't involved, at least). But try playing in DirectX 11 mode.

Anchors don't work on this site at the moment, so use ctrl-F to search for revo and jump to the relevant section. The thread itself is for a different issue, but the uninstall process is the same.
ObanTheForg geminic0528 Please create your own threads in the PC tech section describing your issue and listing the troubleshooting steps you've taken so far. The first one would be a clean user folder: move the entire Sims 4 folder out of Documents > Electronic Arts and onto your desktop, and try to play with no added content.
Please also attach a dxdiag to your post, as described earlier in this thread.
