Sims 4 crashing without error

So i started playing sims 4 again and it has started crashing for no reason. it’s almost like the game is force closing itself because it gives no error message or even recognizes that it’s crashing. nothing really matters about when or where, it’s all completely random. i was able to spend 1.5 hours playing and then i went back in and only got 15 minutes. i looked through the dx diag but didn’t see anything relating to sims, just helldivers. i’m so lost on how to fix it though or what’s actually wrong with it. i repaired the game, made sure my drivers were updated, made sure my pc was updated, but nothing has changed it. 

  • @CapnHanHan  I don't see anything definitively linked to Sims 4 either, but this is a video driver timeout:

    Event Name: LiveKernelEvent
    Response: Not available
    Cab Id: 0
    
    Problem signature:
    P1: 141
    P2: ffffd40a1cacb010
    P3: fffff80150f5f270
    P4: 0
    P5: d40
    P6: 10_0_22631
    P7: 0_0
    P8: 768_1
    P9: 
    P10: 
    

    And that would crash the game, any game really, if it happened while you were playing.  If you'd like to get a better idea of what's happening at the time of your Sims 4 crashes, click Windows key-R and enter perfmon /rel in the run box, which will open the Reliability Monitor.  You'll see a chart of errors and updates and can check the timestamps against the crashes.  For anything that looks suspicious, double-click its name, or right-click and select View technical details.

    Regardless of whethere these LiveKernelEvent 141 errors are related to Sims 4, they do mean the driver needs to be clean-uninstalled and reinstalled.  Here's how:

    If you get another crash, please post any Reliabity Monitor entries that happened while you were playing Sims 4 after reinstalling the graphcis driver.  If you don't see any, check back in an hour or so; the RM doesn't always update right away.
