Continually crashing sims 3
Looking for help to fix the problem of the Sims 3 continually crashing on my windows 8 laptop. I know this is a common problem among people who own windows 8 computers/laptops, so I thought that may...

Ford said to lower all settings, including the Sims free will ones.
I really don't know what else you can do. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Maybe someone else has an idea. I'll pass this on to the other helpers
Hi, Crin!
Coming here from where You've sarched help.You know, I'm not tech wizz and I've looked at this, but I don't understand, what's happens. My CAS is slow too (with 16GB RAM, DEP n LAA), but game isn't crashing. Only crashes if I've searched sell whole family inventory (game duplicated content of treasure chests with all harvestables and SN elixirs 10 pieces for one).
What I'll suggest, because I've read, that at ssaunders happens this when is creating family:
Only way, how is my daughter (with similar issue) able to complete large family on old PC with cca 3GB of RAM), is save each sim in bin (then if game crashes it remains here), after each crash I'm cleaning for her happens this when is creating family. Only way, how is my daughter able to complete large family on old PC (with cca 3GB of RAM), is save each sim in bin (then if game crashes sim remains here), after each crash I'm cleaning for her relative files and folders (*.log files, CurrentGame, Cache files, *.bad files in Saves and sometimes content of Thumbnails too).
When is creating of various sims complete, then is my daughter adding one by one from sim-bin and completing only relationships and confirm family.
Hi, ssaunders!
I'm sorry, that I've don't explained this directly to You, but my english is horrible and I suspect, that Crin is understanding me. :Ooops: If You're able to understand my language, I think, better way for create whole household is saving each sim created in sim-bin, after relative crashes You need to clean with crash corrupted files, but sim will remain in Yours sim-bin.
When You have completed creation of single sim, You create Yours family from sim-bin, modify only relationships (husband, daughter, ...) and confirm family. (My CAS is too very slow with 16 GB of RAM, LAA and DEP, but it not crashes. For my daughter with only cca 3GB of RAM is this procedure only way how she can create whole big household).
I wish You You solve soon.
At both marvelous day!;-)
Thank you both for the replies. I have had a little luck with my game and have been able to play for a couple of hours at a time. For now, I'm working on just creating 1 person families and building them up by playing the game (And finding pre-created Sims in the world to connect them with). Its not the best way of doing it, but seeing as I don't know much about computer programs (And not wanting to make a mistake within the system), I'm going to stick to this method for now. If anyone has anymore luck it would be amazing to hear from you. But for now, best of luck playing the Sims :D
I'm a bit unsure if you tried the factory reset. Someone else had a similar issue and that help them.

Otherwise, I think it might have something to do with your graphic chip.
