Okay, so I am very happy to finally have cats and dogs in the game, but unfortunately I haven't been able to play with dogs yet, since my game keeps crashing.
I have, and use, a lot of CC. My initial thought was that some mod or some CC was the reason for my game crashing everytime I went to create a dog. The weirdest thing is that I can create cats without any sort of problem, but as soon as I open Dogs, my game crashes. So, I disabled all mods and CC and was FINALLY able to enter create a dog without the game crashing.
Now, I have spent all afternoon trying to filter through my CC. I have uninstalled every single script mod and CC and slowly started putting like 5 CC articles a time back into the game, and as fast as ANY CC is active, dogs proceed to crash. I don't know what to do! Playing The Sims without CC is not an option for me as I adore every single item that I have collected throughout my time playing Sims.
As my computer is able to handle cats and dogs, I do not think that there is any software problems. What should I do? Do I just have to wait until the next patch and hope for EA to fix this issue or do I do something else?
Please help!

I have the same issue, I'm looking into upgrading my laptop. For now I'm adopting strays. The game is only crashing when I try and work with a dog in CAS, playing them is ok.
If your laptop cant handle creating dogs, good chance your laptop might not meet requirements. If that is the case, you can't upgrade video card and processor in a laptop you are stuck with the specs you buy. You would need a new computer to continue playing if you don't have another computer that meets requirements. As the game adds more and more it becomes more demanding to a computer. Even just a patch makes the game more demanding. Adding CC with high poly count will also make the game more demanding. You need a computer powerful enough to handle all of it
Hello @MagnoliaQ
Could you please post your DXDiag information here. The instructions are in the earlier post

You will need to break up the pastebin link though by putting h.t.t.p. instead , because you are unable to post links because you are a new member.

Hello
Your game card is older. It would be best to lower the graphics. Try playing in windowed mode. Close any open windows that you have in the dsktop when playing.

Where it says choose a house for your sim i have 0 money soo what should i do???
Hello
Is this occurring with all of your sims? Try testing again and see if the issue occurs again when creating a new sims household.
If you have mods/cc in your game, move your mods folder to the desktop and see if the issue remains.

It's not just old, but it's not that powerful. I would suggest playing the game on medium settings or even turn on laptop mode.

Hello @Giuly_LP
I am so sorry but your computer doesn’t meet the requirements to run the game pack
Cats and Dogs ep requires 64 bit mode, and that mode requires over 4gb memory . Your laptop has less than 4gb for the computer to use, which is why you are having issues.
You have an integrated processor video card. It is using the same computer ram along with the game , origin, windows and other programs that you have on your computer.
I am so sorry
If you have another computer it would be best to play on that if it is has higher computer specifications.
If you decide to purchase a new computer now or into the future and would like help and advice in getting a computer that handle the game and packs, it would be good to post on a thread in the Sims 4 Tech section and simmers will assist you

Will you please take a look at her dxdiag and tell us if her computer will just not support the expansion pack?
This is a new laptop and was supposed to be especially for gaming. She doesn't use it for much else.
