The Sims 4 Crashing
I have no idea what the issue is. I have a gaming laptop that can handle just about anything. The specs are immaculate and i own just about every pack except Bantuu. I've taken out every single mod a...

Glaeradaneth I would get that adapter when you can, then test the game again. Your GPU also has a DVI port if it's easier to find an adapter for that. And your TV, if you have one, should use HDMI, so you could test with your computer connected to the TV.
thirstghosting To be clear, you removed your saves folder (or renamed it), and the game still doesn't work? Try removing or renaming the entire Sims 4 folder instead.
If that doesn't help either, please provide a dxdiag. Click Windows key-R, enter dxdiag in the run box, wait for the scan to finish, click "Save all information," and save the file to your desktop. From there, you can attach it to a reply using the paper clip (Attachment) icon included with the other formatting buttons.
First, I do not own a TV.
Second, I tried with the only adapter I could find. The local store didn't have anything of the sort, not an adapter not a cable, nothing. So, I resorted to amazon, which had like one adapter with the required properties. Short story, didn't work at all. Not just the game, I just had a black screen. So, that's not an option.
I'm sorry, but I'm not really going to buy another cable or adapter in the hopes that that might work. I left so much money in Sims 4, and it has worked in this setup for years. It should do so now. It shouldn't even need an extern GPU, since it is not that graphically challenging, or at least it was praised as that.
Since it has worked for a long time, I'm pretty sure it is not related to my setup, especially, since games that are from a requirements standpoint more challenging to the computer do run. It seems to me that it is an EA-related issue, since everything else is running smoothly.
I'm sorry for ranting a bit here, but I'm just so frustrated. I don't even have the newest packs, so why does the update crash my game? I'm trying to settle this for over a week now, and your answer is that it's my hardware that's the problem. The same that has been running without much issue for years?
And if it is really that Sims 4 suddenly needs a pro-gamer GPU, and that is not what it has been like until now, then whatever it caused was not a good decision by the development. You can't change the requirements mid-game. Sorry if that sounds harsh, but I feel like I've tried everything I could and it still doesn't work. And it all started with an update.
Btw, Sims Medieval works again since I redid the graphic settings and let it use the old graphics card again. Idk why it can't with the newer one, but ok.
