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 playing and a box would come up saying something like 'low memory close these tabs to recover memory needed *sims 3' So yeah, I'd have no other option but to click it and my sims would completely shut down, My computer is a windows 8 I got at christmas and it has 848GB free on the windows although on sims it says '0 bytes free of 6.93' So yeah, I'm really confused. Can someone pleasee help me i'm really upset right now. I play sims a lot and spend most of my free time on there so yeah, You have NO idea how much I'd appreciate it if i got this fixed.Thanks,

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.

Well, you should have enough RAM. Your graphics chip is below specs but you shouldn't get the error you do because of it..

Can you try switch to windowed mode and check how much RAM the process ts3w.exe uses for you. Open the task manager while you're playing to check.
