Sims 4 insta crashing in past few days? Read here.
Symptoms:
Sims 4 (64bit!) instantly crashes after or while loading. Usually no error given just CTD and a dmp file. This happens to 64 bit version, not 32bit version, its a hint already there.
As a pc technician I did look into dmp files and few things and verified ideas with 32/64bit vs x machines, and found what seem to cause it for most people here (100% success here)
Now the last few days Microsoft sent out some Windows 10 updates, and specificly update KB4515384 which is the sinner, causing many Sims 4 to crash.
While this may NOT be an perfect solution for everyone, its amazing how many Sim 4 copies in this area that all the sudden started working after that KB4515384 is removed.
1) Open start menu type CONTROL to open control panel
2) Open Programs & Features
3) In "Program & features" choose "view installed updates"(top left corner)
4) Click on "Security update for Microsoft Windows (KB4515384)" and then click "Uninstall", wait for process to finish and it most likely require a restart of the computer.
Hopefully, Sims 4 64bit, should now work again.
Good luck,
@deoroller67 If you have MSI Afterburner or RivaTuner Statistics Server running, please close it and try to play again. A couple of people have reported that RTSS was the problem, and also that it apparently kept running even during a clean boot.
