Hello,
IMPORTANT: For me all the possible causes except MS framework are totally ruled out see below
I think I am in a unique position in which to give you information on the game. I have just got a brand new laptop (Yesterday) with a new graphics card and the SIMS 4 is the only thing I have installed. This also enabled me to start the game completely a fresh with no saved data and no mods added.
I had been playing fine on my old laptop. I updated the new one to the new patch today and it now crashes every 5-10 minutes.
Again no mods
No particular time it does it but currently trying to play university.
Brand new laptop, Brand new laptop
Only sims 4 installed
Played as a brand new game today
#NOTE Cannot attach crash log, forum says does not match its file extension and has been removed.

No CC or mods, I tried playing with saves I had prior to the update and made a new save to see if it would still crash, and it has every time. The game starts out very laggy, and about 10 mins in it crashes. I did the Repair Game thing after several crashes on old saves, then it crashed twice more on the new save. I've tried to attach the crash report a few times, but it's not letting me.

What is the link to the google drive location?

Since the update my game won't even open. I delete the mods and try multiple times, same result. Any idea ?

I'm experiencing this problem consistently. I was able to play for a few hours between crashes at first, but now I can't play anymore than 5 minutes before the game crashes. At first I thought it was crashing during sleep 4X speed when notifications pop up, but there have been times it's happened at normal speed. No CC. My graphics driver is up to date.
Also, I can't find a link to the location to upload save files. If you send me the google drive location I can upload my saves.
Thanks!
