Hi, I've been having a problem with saving my game. Often when I to save, my computer completely freezes up and has to be shut down. This is really affecting my ability to play as I have to keep replaying the same day over and over. My computer is way over the minimum requirements for everything except the graphics card, so could this be the problem?

Hi,
I have a Dell Ultrabook, i5, 6G RAM, Intel HD 4000 graphics.. brand new. I just installed Medieval Sim and latest patches.
The game will play fine for a few minutes and then it just freezes or is very very slow.
I went into options and reduced video detail to medium. Looked at RAM performance was at a steady of 3G usage. Not sure what else to do.
Any ideas?

I am playing on a MacBook Pro/ OS X 10.6.8 /8 MB memory/NVIDIA GEforce 9600m GT 512 mb
I have been having trouble making Sims in CAS ever since installing 'PETS'. Constant 'exception raised blahblah' errors.
Just installed 'SUPERNATURAL' and the CAS problem has immediatley become much worse in that I can't make a Sim at all because the game just FREEZES my whole laptop and I have to use the power button to shut it down.
Not good at all.
I just want to make a pretty Fairy to play with, not too much to ask for the £30 I just spent.
The game also freezes while building or just playing but it is almost immediate while in CAS.
Yes I have lots of cc and a few Mods but the are all updated for 'SUPERNATURAL'
I am having the exact same issue... freezes when quitting and locks the PC up have to use task manager to get out of it and it says not responding... I can not find where in Origin to un-install and re-install a fresh copy of the Sims 3 games I have the PC downloaded purchased online games... and cant find the digital downloads Any help would be appreciated thanks
Could you make your own topic answering these questions:
- What is your operating system
- At what point does your game crash ? Any regularities ?
- How long can you usually play ?
- Which EP/SPs do you have installed ?
- Are you using custom content and mods in your game ?
- It's also good to include your DxDiag: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-3/HOW-TO-DxDiag-for-Sims-3-PC-Only/td-p/1049584
