sounds like something is just corrupt that's eventually corrupting everything else. have you tried deleting the ENTIRE sims 3 folder in documents? i know you mentioned you deleted some folders inside, but have you tried deleting it ALL? then boot up sims 3 and let it recreate it all fresh.
if you still crash after that.. do any other games crash or just the sims 3?
what's your GPU/CPU?
are you locking to 30fps/forcing vsync through third party software (in-game one doesn't work and if you're getting like 2352319582903fps there's your answer)
have you tried reinstalling the redistributables?
also download something like HWMonitor and next time you play keep it open, and when you crash look at what the maximum heat/voltage was on your mobo/cpu/gpu
+ ofc is it steam or origin?
