    Sims 4 repeatedly crashing on launch

    I feel so defeated.

    Starting today, every time I open the Sims through Origin, the game will not start, and it crashes, due to 'thread 22'.

    I moved all the CC/Mods that I downloaded within the last day to a different folder, still won't start.

    Followed all the steps to manually delete origin, including clearing the caches.

    I used the Reset Origin app.

    I've spoken to two agents.

    Any suggestions???

      You could try doing a factory reset.

      Move your Sims 4 folder in documents to your desktop. Try starting your game. If it loads, then you have something bad in your Sims 4 folder and it is a process of elimination to find the culprit.

      Crinrict explains the process in more detail: sims4.crinrict.com/en/2014/09/resetting-the-game-to-factory-settings-without-reinstalling/

      Did you try the suggestion above? Move your Sims 4 folder to your desktop. Try starting the game again. You will not see any of your saved games because they are on your desktop in the other folder. Try starting a new game. It could be outdated mods or bad CC that is causing the issue.
