Solved

While playing the Sims 4, my PC will suddenly shut off.

I've been having the same issue, this has been happening since the last update for me, I read about the vsync  settings but have not tried that yet. I cleaned out every area of my pc and used Core Temp to monitor my temps and they stay around 50c or lower when playing. 

I've never had the power down issue with any other games I played (fortnite. Apex Legands or Swords of Ditto) I have even streamed and pc worked fine.  

I'm including any information I can think of that could help with finding a solution.

Thank you

Update: I turned on vsync in the game and through amd catalyst control center, I also lowered the graphic settings down to low-medium and I can play longer, still the temp sits at around 50c as the high.

    😃 That is an unbelievable mistake. 

    And yes, that would put down about any PSU under load, so that was most probably the culprit.

    Good that you saw that.

    Have fun gaming.

  • See here is the funny thing,  I just yesterday I was able to play Sims 4 for three hours with no issue at all. Then later run my game stream for an hour just fine. I'm wondering if it could be the outlet in my apartment at this point.  but I'll just keep an eye on it, it still is nice to play the game at least.
