Sims 4 keeps crashing during gameplay

[chelletrixia]

When I first got the game, it ran like a charm. No crashing, gaming for hours.

Then it started to crash every hour or so. No big deal, I just restarted the game.

Now it crashes every 3-5 minutes and I can't get anything done.

 I was super excited to play Sims again. I feel like I'm throwing money to the void at this point and it's really upsetting since I've always loved the Sims.

- I tried restarting my computer a few times which didn't do anything either.

- My laptop is not overheating.
