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....

    @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.
