I believe those errors normally occour when a background program is messing with your active program, in this case, The Sims 4.
First of all, I see you already run a nice and fairly updated system. But please make sure you have everything fully updated, like harddrive firmware (if it's an SSD), motherboard drivers (I can see it's an Intel based system so www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect might come in handy in case as well as your motherboard's brandname site), etc.
Secondly, you should try and disable all 3rd party software and services running in the background, also called a clean boot:

Lastly, you might want to check your memory for errors ( http://www.memtest86.com/ ) and disable all overclock (if any).
Let me know if this helps or not🙂

EA, it is not my hardware. I like you am a technician. I've all my drivers updated. Motherboard is on a stable firmware. This includes my SDD, GPU, CPU, Dedicated Sound Card, and current drivers for my Corsair water cooler.
You also mentioned that I should try disabling all startup items - in my opening post I've mentioned I've done this. Clean boot produces no discernable difference. Lastly, the memory I have has been tested and stable for 5 months. I have corsair dominators... they are tested thoroughly before leaving the factory floor - 16 gigs of their ram was 240.00$ and I've been running them like champions.. really you should recheck my original post a little more thoroughly.. I've made a lot of mentions and what not...
Also, my rig is professionally built and stress tested with industry standard tools and soft-sets. I personally can assure you my equipment is the definition of stability, but I do admit that not all the software I use is entirely stable every single day! I just know my hardware is rock solid and under stressed my TS4. My windows install is also professionally configured to run as little services as possible.
--> Sysinfo32 logs should provide the most of the details.
However, just to entertain the thought...
