Hopefully, you see this post
You and I talked on another thread about my getting a new computer, and I decided to wait until the Black Friday/pre-Christmas sales. However, my game is quickly going down the tubes, and I wanted your advice on whether or not it is my computer or if something else is going on.
My game is crashing CONSTANTLY. At this point, I can't really save or travel without a crash. When I first installed the game, I was playing at High settings, no issues, but I lowered them to Medium when my crashes started (after the October patch). This kept my crashing situation at bay for awhile (I could play for a few hours, no problems). Now, though, it's just pointless to even try. I've been trying to play since this morning (it's now almost 4 PM), and I've progressed ONE SIM DAY. I have repaired the game, deleted the Sims 4 folder, rolled back saves...pretty much everything except uninstall/re-install.
I know my computer is older, but this feels ridiculous to me. I played TS3 with all expansions/stuff packs (minus that awful Katy Perry
) with very few issues. Surely, this should take up fewer resources, right?
Is it my computer, or is something up with the game? I am looking into a small home loan for some improvements to my house (built-in bookshelves here I come!), so I don't want to charge a new computer to my credit card and take a hit on my credit score just--if at all possible, I want to wait until next month. Are there any other fixes/ideas I should try? I love this game, but this is driving me crazy.

So what I would try first is to end every unneeded background task that is running.
Also try performing a clean boot :

Is the crashing happening on a new save or one that you have played for a while?

I just don't get how all the TS3 games ran and this base game can't. Also, if it means starting a new game, I'll just wait until I can get a new computer. The whole fun it it for me is in playing the families throughout multiple generations. It won't be any fun to just progress through a couple and then have to start over.
It's sucks that you have a good graphics card but your ram and cpu are lacking a little.
I cannot pin point what else could be causing the issues.. I would suggest the folder reset but you have already done that.. so that rules out bad cc or mods.
You can do the uninstall and reinstall.. backing up your saves first. But I cannot guarantee that's going to help.
See how you go with the clean boot

select lower and see if this helps. also i noticed you didnt post storage section so does your hard drive have enough free space?
and though the crashing is probably hardware related wondering if you confirmed yet it isnt your game, you could try a reset to check. simply pull the sims 4 folder to the desktop run a test game, even make a back up of your saved game and run within the new files
path my documents/electronic arts/sims 4
Edit: forgot to mention, I do have plenty of space. I think I have 100ish GB of free space.
The ssd is rather small though.. I think you need to increase that to 120GB.
Do you play any other games? higher demanding than the sims?
