I don't know about the OP's specs, but here's mine. It feels a bit pointless though to run this diagnostic, given it's not like my system can't handle TS4 and all of its EPs, GPs, and SPs. Everything I have meets TS4's spec standards, and all of my drivers are up to date.
The game was literally running just fine until the toddlers update, and now my Sims can't give birth without it crashing my game. No matter if they have an at-home birth or go to the hospital (accompanied or alone). As soon as the child is born and a name is confirmed, TS4 crashes. And I've already checked to see if it's my mods or CC, and I've already tried repairing my game and outright re-installing it for good measure.
Like I said before, I've been seeing a good number of people with this exact same issue. And I doubt it's a matter of an outdated graphics driver, especially when many of us have everything up to date anyways. 
Your graphics drivers are from 2012
Please update those
Also attach any crashlog.txt files to your post (you'll find those in documents)
Good Luck

Um. They aren't that old. I'm looking at the exact same diagnostic I sent you in my last reply, and while the hardware is that old, the drivers themselves were last updated just earlier this month, and are far more recent than their 2012 versions. And in any case, I really don't feel that this kind of problem would be caused by something as simple as an outdated graphics driver.
Thank you for trying to provide a helpful suggestion. I really appreciate the attempt to help, given this situation is getting increasingly frustrating and I honestly just want to play my game. But it's not exactly helpful to suggest that someone update something that's already fully up to date, and it's a bit alienating to be glossed over when stating that system specs aren't actually at fault here given it had already been thoroughly tested and checked...
