Same problem here. In the last hour I've crashed after 15 minutes, after 10, and twice after around 5 minutes, after the 10/11/2020 update. No warning, the gameplay just stops and the programme closes.
No mods, nor CC.
New PC bought in mind to play Sims 4 after it wouldn't play on my old system.

Hi everyone,
this thread seems to be a bit hard to help with as there doesn't seem any common factors. Currently it's best if everyone made their own thread, posting the following info
You can upload DxDiag and config.log directly to your post.
For any lastCrash files, either create a rar file and upload that or copy/paste the content of the file to a post inside spoiler tags (the icon next to the strike-through)
Please use this forum for Windows Crashes only.
If you are on console, post in the console forum here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-Consoles/bd-p/the-sims-4-technical-issues-consoles-en
For Mac here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-Mac/bd-p/The-Sims-Mac
There's also a self-troubleshooting thread for crashing here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-PC/FAQ-Sims-4-Crashes/m-p/3586547
Good Luck

Same issue. Unplayable at this stage. And don’t want to wait another few months for them to get around to fixing it. I hope they fix it soon. Whatever happened to beta testing a game before putting out new updates? This many people with the same issue means “someone” didn’t test their product before releasing it. Sims is well known for its many glitches. But if it’s unplayable, that’s not acceptable. Please fix! 😰

Hello there @kaochevynova ,
I would try to Repair your Sim 4. You can do this by going to your Origin Library, Right Clicking Sims 4 and Clicking Repair. It might take a while to repair.
Let me know if this fixes anything,

My game crashes too while playing, I have no mods or cheats enabled (never used them), I only have 2 dlcs (vampires and pets), so it's very vanilla.
Hope in an update.

I’m having similar issues. I’ve tried playing with 2 of my saved households. One can’t get past 3:05 am no matter how long I play it. Second save crashes about 5 minutes into the game play. I started a new save file thinking maybe the old ones were corrupt after the recent patch. I had no problems in build mode. Spent about an hour creating a sim and building a small starter home. As soon as I left build mode, about 5 minutes in the game crashes. Sometimes the game continues to run, ienow will continue to fall, rain will continue, shower will keep running, but the time stops responding and everyone freezes. I’ve deleted all the mods I had installed before this update.
