    I made an edit to one of my posts but I am not sure that you saw it.  

    I actually moved the base game back to C and now it runs perfectly.  Almost better since I switched the game to run off the Nvidia card.  I am not sure why this is the case for it to work again with it on C drive.  I put World Adventures on D drive and still everything works great.  It doesn't lock up at all.  But now my C drive almost a full capacity..that was reason for moving it to D drive - hoping to clear up C drive.  

    Thank you for all of your help.  I appreciate it very much.

      Do you have your docs folder on c or d ?

      Also make sure the game runs on the Nvidia card and not on the Intel Chip while playing.

      http://sims3.crinrict.com/en/2013/06/getting-the-game-to-recognize-your-card.html (scroll down to where it says: You have two graphic cards)

      You can also turn on triple buffering and vsync to make sure the game runs better.

      Also are your Nvidia drivers up-to-date ? What version do they have (you can check in the Nvidia experience)

        My docs folder is on d.

        The Nvidia version is 337.88

        Edit:

        it says that document library is in 2 locations.  D is the default save location. C has C:\Users\Public\Documents
