Constant Crashes on Startup

★ Novice

So Sims 4 was working fine. Had it installed to the SSD but the HDD crapped out and I had to get a replacement from WD. So I wanted a fresh install of everything and loaded everything on SSD like I did before. I don't even have the new HDD connected but regardless Sims 4 crashes on boot every time.

Also I have reinstalled Windows 10 again to try to fix the issues. Still has the same problem. Not sure why it would work before the HDD took a * even though it was never installed there.

 

Other games runs fine

5. Try a Sims 4 Factory Reset - Take your Sims 4 folder move it to the desktop and Run Sims 4, it will create a new Sims 4 folder. Create a new Save to test. Your game saves and other game files will be fine backed up to the desktop.

 

6. Turn off or disable Game bar in Windows 10 (Search the term [disable game bar in Windows 10] for instructions)

 

7. If you haven't, try running Ccleaner since you've uninstalled/Reinstalled the operating system and game.
