I changed the game to windowed mode, and it's running a whole heap better. It just crashed again, but I'd been playing it for a few hours. I'm still interested in getting to the bottom of the problem if anyone has any ideas as to why it's crashing.

Thanks a lot.

I know why and I fixed it do you want help?

Definitely!! I was just playing it again and it's still crashing, once after maybe 15 minutes once after about half an hour. I'd appreciate the help.

Computer looks fine.

Do you also have a graphic chip in there or just the geforce one ?

@etoadvin: If you have a solution, just post it (I know you did in one thread and it seems to be a good solution) but making a post if you should post a solution is just not helpful. I'll let you post the solution.

Ok first go to options (graphics) then you will see miorr reflection click and drag no reflection restart your computer and it will stop crashing the miorrs may look a little odd but it stops it from crashing this technique worked on 2 people so far good luc

ok thanks crinrict

Thanks Crinrict and Etoadvin.

I tried the idea with turning off reflections. Thanks for the idea, but it didn't work for me ☹️ I just went in and turned them off, restarted computer, played sims again and it crashed after about 20 minutes.

I think I only have the Nvidia card.

Any other ideas? I find it quite baffling.

gee I dot know that was the only one that I knew about sry it didnt work:womansad:

There's a tool called Crash Log Analyzer over at ModTheSims (just google). It's a third party tool and you use at your own risk though.

Check what it says. It might give us an indication although it's not always accurate
