Melted Graphics Cards?
I recently downloaded the Sims 3 on my computer again and it crashed (to no surprise). On my old computer it would crash all the time but my new computer is a bit better though so I did a quick Google...

@igazor might be able to assist. I have heard stories of melted graphics cards and yes frame rate limiters are needed for Sims 3. But I am not up to date on all of this so it's best left to someone who is. There is a Sims 3 tech forum too where you might get help. If this gets moved then that's probably where it'll be.
