"The Sims 4 Has Stopped Working" crash

I'm having this error whenever I try to enter the game.

1. Load Origin, play Sims 4

2. Screen logo loads

3. Sims 4 logo come up, CRASH with error msg "The Sims 4 Has Stopped Working"

FYI, I have:

1. The game was playing fine on day of launch and the day after. I was playing with max out graphics and gameplay was smooth. It only started having this on the 3rd day.

2. I have already updated all drivers, tried Clean Boot, disabled anti-virus and everything

Googled and saw someone post this

Unfortunately wasn't very helpful without the details, can the tech staffs at Origin/EA help..?

    1. open  origin 

    2. go to 'My Games'

    3. click on the 'i' button next to the 'play' button by the sims 4 game

    4. then click on 'game properties' 

    5. check the box to disable origin in game

    Hope it resolves the issue 🙂

    This worked for me! I hadn't played in a couple  months. Did an update and it wouldn't boot up at all. Unchecked this and BAM it seemed to work. 

    Try it. Easy fix possibly.
