@xkatiestfux Please run a dxdiag and attach it to a post.

Please also let me know what happens when you try to play: does it not start at all, does it crash right away, do you get any error codes, etc. And I take it you've told Origin to launch the game in 64-bit mode? To do so, right-click on the Sims 4 icon in your Origin library, select Game Properties > Advanced Launch Options, and choose 64-bit from the dropdown menu.

The game will start and load to the start menu, but as soon as I click anything the game crashes with no error message, and the game is in 64-bit mode as well.

@xkatiestfux It is not good practice (although I see it from time to time) to designate an active device A:. A: and B: are are usually reserved for removable media devices - floppy drives, tape drives, etc. The computer defaults to boot from C:. This can be changed but I don't recommend it. This is your system device. Right now your system device size 113.46 Gb. This is way too small for a system device for a gaming computer. IMO your computer is running out of resources - free space on the system device. The graphics card RTX 2070 is in the game database so that should not be an issue. Your getting DirectX errors which is probably due to the limited free space on the system device. You have some nice hardware but I think it is configured wrong. If this is a new system I recommend getting at least a 500Gb device for C:, reconfigure A: to something above C:. If A: and C: are actually the same device re partition to one device unless you are dual booting to another operating system. I like to keep my systems as simple as possible. Troubleshooting is so much easier.

@xkatiestfux If you have RivaTuner Statistics Server or MSI Afterburner installed, disable it while you play. If that doesn't help, disable your RGB Fusion software—it's crashing and throwing errors as well.

you should try taking your custom content out. then run the game and see if it works.

i cant find the website or whatever to start the dxdiag
- puzzlezaddict5 years agoHero+
@brattykhidclara_ There's no website; you can run a dxdiag on your own. Hit Windows key-R, type "dxdiag" without quotes into the box, and Enter. Wait for the scan to finish. When it's done, click "Save all information" in the lower right corner of the pop-up, and save the .txt file to your desktop. You can attach that file to a post here.
It would be easier if you started your own thread explaining what your issue is, so people have a better idea how to help; attach the dxdiag to your initial post.

Game is already set to run 64-bit and Sims 4 has constantly used 32-bit. I don't want to play 32-bit ran games. Why is Sims the only game I have that refuses to run properly?
