If I were still on my old computer I played on a few years ago, I would have had to answer completely differently, because back then my game had crashed every time I played, and sometimes I had barely gotten to do anything.
Thankfully for the last year or so, after getting the desktop that I play on now, and then finally identifying a bad piece of CC I had downloaded, I get to quit the game myself every time. Yes, I continue to have a strict way to play the game, 'save-as'ing everytime I save, testing all new CC, and I started better organising my mods/packages folder so I can easily pull newly added CC right back out if I ever need to. I play the game in windowed mode, in order to take photos with an external program that will show the reshade2.0 filters, without the issue external screenshots of Sims 3 have in fullscreen with the darkness in screenshots - so I cap my fps using the same program I use to take screenshots and videos(Since Sims 3 will only cap its own fps in fullscreen mode, and won't cap fps itself in windowed mode). That means I can bring up certain things while Sims 3 is running-like the file explorer-but I can't bring up any program that will make bandicam disconnect from my game and stop capping its fps - because when the fps goes wild it stresses the computer out.
