Hi @viviserious 

 

moving your post to tech for troubleshooting

 

 

Could you please post the following info

 

  1. Your Computer's DxDiag
  2. If you have, the following file: Documents\electronic arts\the sims 4\lastcrash.txt
  3. The following file: Documents\electronic arts\the sims 4\config.log

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)

Good Luck

Hello @crinrict 

I attached documents.

Re: Game crashes again

@viviserious  Please clear Origin's cache, then repair the game: open your game library, right-click on the Sims 4 icon, and select Repair.

If that doesn't help, it might be useful to see a crash dump from one of the crashes.  The Sims 4 errors in your dxdiag are clear on the type of error but not on the cause.  Here's how to get a crash dump:

 

  • Hit the Windows key, type "command prompt" in the box, right-click on Command Prompt in the search results, and select Run as Administrator
  • In the window, paste "reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\LocalDumps\devenv.exe" /v DumpType /d 2 /t REG_DWORD" without the outside quotes into the box, and enter
  • Launch Sims 4 and let it crash, however long that takes
  • After it crashes, wait for any crash dialogs to finish
  • Then hit Windows key-R and paste "%LOCALAPPDATA%\CrashDumps" without quotes into the box, and enter
  • Upload the last .dmp file to a free filehosting site, and link it here
  • When you want to undo the auto crash log dumps, open Command Prompt as before, paste "reg delete "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\LocalDumps" /f" without the outside quotes, and enter.

Hello @puzzlezaddict,

unfortunately games still crashes. Yesterday it went throught the moment when it was stopping all the time, but today it crashes again, just little bit later. I noticed it only happens when I speed the time in the game e.g. when Sim is sleeping or working, then I speed time and after a moment clock stoppes and game crashes. Do you have any idea how to fix it?

Re: Game crashes again

@viviserious  I'd still like to see a crash dump.  You can enable it, play normally, and just wait for the game to crash.

 

And please attach a new dxdiag as well.  I didn't download your old one, and I don't remember all of what was in it, mostly just the errors themselves.
