THE SIMS 4 KEEP CRASHING SINCE SWITCH TO EA APP. Sims * itself down.
Hello everyone, I have a problem..
I wanted to start the Sims4 and saw that I had no choice and had to go from Origin to EA, Can you feel it coming?
Well made the switch not knowing what misery awaited me!
Then the EA app had an error.. Then The Sims was supposedly loading but it wouldn't start.. Such minor things happened that I didn't have with Origin.
Fortunately, it was all fixable.. And I was able to play the game for 2 days with Mods.
Now it is true that when I start the game everything goes well, But when I start playing it closes itself within 1min! You can literally put the clock on it.
Have watched a lot of forums and videos with countless solutions and what you can do about it or where it could be .. Have literally done EVERYTHING and tried but in vain Frown
I can do tricks such as starting in admin and checking mods and new sims map etc etc, but in all the years that I have been playing this game nothing works anymore.
I even tried to switch from EA to origin. You now also have tricks to get around it, but unfortunately that doesn't work for me,
I also get a message more often after closing that Origin is not installed, while I do need that software to start the game and that I have to install Origin again? But then you immediately have the message from origin to go to EA, which unfortunately I could not ignore.
Well, I am at my wits end and know that this is really due to the EA App .. And now I fear that I will no longer be able to play Sims.
Someone who has the redeeming answer and solution? My thanks are great.
I did this with google translate so i hope it makes sense ^^.
@MotherOfAMiracle As a test, please try playing in a clean user folder, that is if you haven't already. Move the entire Sims 4 folder out of Documents > Electronic Arts and onto your desktop, and when you launch the game, a clean folder will spawn with no content. (Your saves and other content will be intact in the folder you moved but temporarily not read by the game.) Don't add anything to the new folder yet; just let me know whether you can get far enough to start a new save and play in live mode for a bit.
If you still can't play, please run a dxdiag and attach it to a post.

For the messages about Origin not being installed, when exactly do you see these: after closing Sims 4, or some other time? Please also post a screenshot of the message. Please translate it if your native language doesn't use the Roman alphabet; otherwise, leave it as it is.
