Game crashes constantly

★★★ Novice

Hey, yesterday I wanted to play the Sims 4 again so updated it and spent some hours in CAS without any problems. I then went on with making the home of the sims I created and that's when the game started to crash. Since then, whenever I restart it and play live mode or build mode the game crashes randomly after a few minutes. I removed my mods and CC but that didn't help. I repaired the game in the origin client which didn't help. I did also reset the game to factory settings by creating a backup of the Sims 4 folder, but it still crashes. 

I have the Get Together, City Living, Seasons and Cats and Dogs expansion packs.

HI @JojoMari1812

please try updating your graphics drivers. Yours are from 2012

 

Also your c drive is getting a bit low in space. You might wanna move some files.

 

Which drive do you have the game/the doc folder on ?

Good Luck

Hey, I just updated the graphics drivers and restarted the game but it crashed again.

I have the game on the d drive which still has 430 GB free space.

Do you have your documents folder on d as well or just the game itself ?

 

Windows needs free space on the c drive so if you can, I would try freeing up some space.

The documents folder is on the c drive. I just freed about 12 GB space on the c drive is that enough?

I would move the doc folder to another drive. Just google for instructions. Then try again.

Since you have Win 7, there's no errors showing up in DxDiag.

 

Can you check if you have any critical events: https://crinrict.com/blog/2014/09/critical-events.html ?

Hi @JojoMari1812

 

that's pretty inconclusive, unfortunately. 

 

You said you deleted your mods/cc. Did you also delete your cache files ? https://sims4.crinrict.com/en/2014/09/delete-cache-files/

 

Have you tried renaming the entire user folder and starting a new save for testing purposes ?

Good Luck
