@Sevreign Again, was this in a clean user folder with absolutely nothing added back to it? Messed up needs bars sounds very much like a mods/custom content issue, although that is of course not the only cause. But since the fixes for those other causes are somewhat inconvenient and/or time-consuming, it would be best to eliminate third-party content first.
This error itself is an access violation, too generic to be of much use by itself, but the faulting module is a core component of Windows. This component is unlikely to be corrupt itself, since your computer presumably still works in general; it's more likely that the game is misusing the resource. Still, if the problem happens without mods or cc and you want to address potential issues on the Windows side, a repair install would be relatively quick and simple. Here's how (option two):

This shouldn't delete any of your data, but if you get to step 14 and are NOT asked to keep personal files and apps, back out and start over.
@puzzlezaddict No mods/CC, clean user folder.
Just did the windows repair thing, everything went well it seems but unfortunately the problem with The Sims 4 remains unsolved.
The new crash report after the repair. Again with no mods/CC and clean user folder.

I've decided to run some more basic tests after the OS repair incase it's different. What I've found is that now the Fault Module Name is a sims .exe file instead of a .dll, I think that's progress?
Anyways I've logged all my attempts and what I did between attempts. Hope this helps!
I decided to try a clean boot and it seems like it fixed it, I added some mods/CC and that seems to break it again. I created another document of my changes and crash reports.
I am having a similar issue and I can't seem to find a thread that fully resolves the issues. I have uninstalled and reinstalled my Sims 4 game 5 times, I have checked if I had corrupted files and I didn't. I have scanned my computer multiple times and checked if there was an update out for the Sims 4 (which there is not). I have followed the steps listed in these posts but I can't seem to find a permanent solution. The only time the game works is with just the base game and my packs.
