@brookecastro Does your computer run Windows or macOS? Do you use mods and custom content, and if so, which? It's fine if you do; I just need to take that into account.
My computer is windows. I do not have mods or custom content I was thinking about getting them though.

@brookecastro Please run a dxdiag and attach it to a post.

Please also let me know what world you're trying to play in and whether it helps to play in Sunset Valley instead.

@brookecastro Isla Paradiso is very broken out of the box, unfortunately. It normally doesn't crash right away, but your laptop's hardware is right on the border of what might be expected to run Sims 3 with all expansions. So the combination of a broken world and borderline hardware may be the issue.
If you'd like to try playing in IP again, try this fixed version instead:

Among other things, the fog should be removed right out of the gate, which may make the difference between the save crashing and not.
Otherwise, you'll be better off sticking to more stable worlds like Sunset Valley. Some custom worlds are workable too, although I would recommend reading some reviews before committing to one. The features of the Island Paradise expansion work fine and can be used in any world with deep-enough water.
