Hey this is what happens to me, after I have installed the new update 1.38 and supernatural.
* First the game struggles to cancel the intro when I click or hit enter.
1. Gameplay lasts about 20-30mins and crashes at random points.
2. After that the game freezes for about a min or two (sound still working sometimes but no plant movement but still able to move cursor)
3. After that the screen produces horizontal lines which looks like the gameplay screen very blurred (see image)

4. Computer crashes goes to blue screen 'dumping memory'
5. Computer restarts asking if I want to go in safe mode.
Sometime when I start again it has lost the game, still shows but the family image has disappeared for the icon and the game doesn’t work.
Also the Sims 3 website is causing my computer to crash.
My system:
Hewlett-Packard
HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC
5.1 Windows Experience Index
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU P7450 @ 2.13GHz 2.13GHz
4.00GB RAM
32-bit operating system.
I love the sims been playing since the original came out, hope someone can fix this problem I miss my sims and was really looking forward to supernatural ☹️
I updated the game for the new patch and the game started crashing (blue crash screen). I uninstalled one expansion pack, lowered my resoultion on the screen in my computer and the game and it would continue to crash. Now it doesn't crash anymore and not sure how that got fixed from crashing, but what it does is, i start a new game and choose the household I want to move in, move them in and the game freezes! I can't do anymore and it stays that way forever until I go to task manager to end the session. I have had this game on this computer for a year and never had a problem until that update...now I can't play the games I spent a lot of money on! I have gone to Microsoft and updated everything for Windows 7...I have updated through my computers maker for graphics and what not...it just doesn't want to work anymore! I have enough RAM so memory isn't the problem either...I don't know what to do anymore! Help Me Please!! I love this game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
