Discord App Crashes Sims 4 On Start Up

[monkiepunkie260]

Hello! I repeatedly have an issue where if I go to open the Sims 4 while the Discord application is running (even as a background task), the game crashes upon start up. No crash message is given but I have to restart my computer every time because the sims overlays my entire screen and I can't switch to other applications on my computer. Is this a known bug? Is there anyway I can fix this issue?

@monkiepunkie260  Discord can conflict with other overlays, including Origin in-game.  So try disabling that: hover over your username, select Application Settings, then the Origin in-game header, and disable the option at the top.

If that doesn't help, try disabling all other programs you usually have running while you play.  It's possible something else is conflicting instead.

And of course you could just use Discord in a browser window rather than the app.  It shouldn't conflict with anything.
