I have the Sims 3 base game on a disc with no expansions or stuff packs. My game crashes normally about 3-5 minutes after it loads into Live Mode. In severe cases, 30 seconds. The longest I have been able to play is about 30-60 minutes. My dxdiag says there's nothing wrong in Display, sound and input, but I'm not sure if it's a memory problem...

What's wrong with my game?
That's pretty bad, then...
I am on lowest graphic settings, but would lowering autonomy and sound help? I am probably unable to add more memory, due to my age and the laptop itself... any suggestions?
Try if updating those graphic drivers helps.
Um... well... I'll try to change the graphics card. What do you suggest? :catfrustrated:
Laptops are almost always not upgradable.
Well... that's rubbish. I'm starting to earn some patience anyway... and I like to close some programs and open the launcher so it's quicker to open. I think I'll be fine, thanks. I now use disk cleanup once or twice a week. It's starting to run more smoothly. I'll tolerate it, but thanks for all your help.
