  • I must say, at times the Sims 4 causes us a lot of issues. One would not think Sims would be so demanding on our PCs as to like lets say FarCry 5 or something in that manner but it seems like Simming has a lot of issues. So glad this discussion helped another Sim Gamer. Hoping it helps many others because many forum post…
  • Ok, thanks so much. Been playing so far with no restarts and BSOD which is vary nice for a change. Speed is good too. O, did you do that router reboot today that the FBI said to do? Making sure, we defiantly don't need any issues.
  • hmm, ok. Well it's doing what its supposed to do thus far. Been playing Sims 4 rather smoothly the last few days. No restarts, no bluescreens just simming happily. I also don't feel any heat coming from the pc now either, I think the GForce 660 was a hog in heat and resources. It was good back when it was fresh but within…
  • yes, so true. As long as I know how to. This was my first time actually getting into the pc case itself. Was kinda scary. Lol, but then again worth it to learn. Perhaps some day make my own pc when the time comes. I can defiantly use the case I have now. Also that Corsair PSU, is made by Seasonic, which I was reading that…
  • yea, I kept researching and reading reviews. The MSI Trident 3 has heat issues for the mini console pc, but I was reading that the new MSI Vortek (I think thats how its spelled) its better as far as heating issues goes. MSI fixed that issue with the newer model being the Vortek. Still going this router was much cheaper. PC…
  • Thanks. I didnt have to go to the website i have GForce experience and it installed and updated the driver for me. Thankfully i have the intergraded intel graphic card to set things up tgen it instantly reconized the new gpu once downloaded and installed. My only issue was the audio. Lol i plugged that in the wrong jack at…
  • Ok, so haven't tried the graphics card yet but I went to Best Buy and bought the CORSAIR - CX-M Series 550W ATX12V 2.4/EPS12V 2.92 Modular Power Supply - Matte black, it wasn't too difficult to put in either. I was actually nervous at first but its running smoothly right now.…
  • Someone in another forum told me it could be a bad psu on my pc causing the unexpected kernal error. Just may have to replace the psu and see if its the cause.
  • Hi I am curious about using the MSI Desktop Computer Trident 3 8RC-005US Intel Core i5 8th Gen 8400 (2.80 GHz) 8 GB DDR4 1 TB HDD NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 Windows 10 Home 64-Bit . Would this be ok for the Sims 4?
  • yea I know, I posted this one earlier. Not sure how to delete it. I wanted to after I posted it because I wanted to make a new discussion.
  • Its actually a desktop computer, just a mini version. Not truly a console. :)
  • Actually yea, newegg is the site that I found that small console. Here is the link for that pc https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883152374&ignorebbr=1
  • Yea, I am in the USA. NH actually. I've been reading through the reviews about the MSI Trident and it doesn't really have a heating issue. It can on some games run around 75degrees which is almost equivalent to the Xbox One and such. I am just worried that my pc in general will stop playing all my games eventually. It is…
  • Hmm, I've read reviews on this Trident. There isn't much heating issues, it gets a bit warm but other than that its ok. I have a mini split a/c in my room to keep it cool too. I really don't want to get rid of my older rig since its working still good. Just the gaming is having issues. I would be a new 500 w psu if I got…
  • I am checking into not upgrading my system and just getting a smaller more compact pc to place on my desktop. I was looking at the MSI Desktop Computer Trident 3 8RC-005US Intel Core i5 8th Gen 8400 (2.80 GHz) 8 GB DDR4 1 TB HDD NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 Windows 10 Home 64-Bit. What are your thoughts on this small pc for…
  • My pc is an IBUYPOWEREXTREME GAMING PC 4th generation intelcore i5-4430 3.0 ghz 8 gb DDR3 1tb HDD, DVDRW, 2GBNVIDIA GForce gtx 660, 64 bit
  • ah ok, thanks I downloaded speccy and found that Sims 4 really ramps up the usage on my graphics card like to 80-90 % so I am thinking its that. My graphic card is the NVidia GForce GTX 660 so its really old. Need to some how update that, its the only thing that budges when playing sims
  • Can we just update to a new graphics card? Or do we need to consider specs of the pc and such?
  • ok, just played in edit lot mode for about a half hour when my pc suddenly restarted. No errors or anything just restarted. I recently dusted my pc again, so its not that. Any other ideas? I lowered my setting, went into windows mode and did that origin off thing. any other ideas? Thanks again.
  • Haven't had a chance to play yet, but I did get an update on my graphic card which I noticed after some updates it does this shutdown bluescreen unxpected kernal error after so going to check it out after the updates...Woot, sims 4 also updated.
  • thanks so much! I will def try doing all that. Its weird, how it just shuts down. Hoping this helps.
  • Thanks. Here is my DXDiag info from that site https://pastebin.com/z9YkDsdH
  • Playing last night in build mode and it did that blue screen again, the unexpected store exception error. Unsure why? Graphics too high perhaps but my pc can usually handle games. Weird. I can post my dx diag if needed. What parts on the dx diag are needed its so big of a file
  • Thanks rosemow! Worked great, no pc shutting down now after uninstalling and reinstalling Origin.
  • Unexpected store exception, since yesterday while playing the sims. Has there been an update anytime lately? I checked my pc's health and such nothing, all drivers are up to date. Every thing is dusted within the pc. Just the Sims 4 keeps shutting down my pc now. Sadly and I really want to play.
  • Hi, I just found a way to organize my files. How I did it, I made a new file in my mods folder. For example if you want clothing in that folder write Clothing MODS Another sample Objects MODS for my mods I did a folder like Modded MODS I always capitalize MODS at the end of each folder. I found for me the game recognizes…
  • Its been 6 months since I lasted dusted out my pc, probably time to dust it again. Thanks for the tip. Still haven't had time to get on and see if it happens again. Had my monthly IVIg today so been busy. Thank you again.
  • Haven't played since it happened, so going to check it out again. Just hadn't had time yet. I know no other game has shut down on me, the pc is made for gaming but its getting old. A few years ago it was top of the line. Guess thats what happens with PC's
