erinmay98 The 1.0.0.18 is the internal build number, which is correct for your version. TS3W.exe has a different build number and is only for patches 1.67 and below.
Sims 3 is in fact large-address aware and has been since 2010. It can use up to about 3.7 GB memory before running out (because there's some overhead). How much is it using when it crashes for you, and are you sure that this is an out-of-memory crash and not something else? How much RAM does your computer have, and how much is free when Sims 3 crashes? If there isn't enough available for the game, it can of course run out of memory even though it hasn't approached its own limit.
puzzlezaddict Thanks, that makes sense now about TS3.exe. When it crashes, the log shows “Free virtual memory: 46 MB” and Task Manager usually has TS3.exe up around 3.6–3.7 GB. I’ve got 16 GB RAM but I do use a lot of CC, so I guess it’s just running out of memory. Any tips on keeping the usage lower so I can play longer before it crashes?
