Low disk space sims 3?
Okay, So.... I've been playing sims a lot and have quite a lot of Custom content but needless to say thats obviously not the problem. I've been in create a sim and my game would crash with the music ...
Forum Discussion
There's two different kinds of memory. RAM (which is like your short-time memory) and hard drive (like your long time memory), what the Sims is running out is RAM.
Do you have a lot of programs running in the background while you play ? If so, try shutting down some of the ones you don't need to save on memory.
Could you post your Computer's DxDiag so I can check how much you have in total ?
To gather a DxDiag on your computer, please follow the steps here: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-3/HOW-TO-DxDiag-for-Sims-3-PC-Only/td-p/1049584/
Its very long so which part will i post? will i post it all?...
Thank you very much for replying so fast im kind of a dumby with technology sometimes.
Yeah, post it all. Please don't remove any spaces or carriage returns. Just use multiple posts.
