--- Comment #5 from Patrick Hibbs hibbsncc1701@gmail.com --- The winetricks workaround only gets the game to the title screen. The second it attempts to load the main menu, the game will crash to desktop even with winetricks -q vcrun2013.
I was debating on whether or not to include this here or in another bug, and had set this bug up in anticipation of that, but because regression testing showed that reverting the bad commit above also fixes the second crash on the main menu, I'm including it here.
TL;DR: Until that bad commit is fixed, The Sims 4 won't run.
