My Sims 3 crashes in map view
Even if The sims 4 is the main sims now and Sims 3 has become more "irrelevant" and "outdated" (not in my opinion though...) I still hope I can receive some help with my problem. My sims keeps crash...

I can't really play via origin even if it way more efficient, this is due to some of the expansions are already registred to other origin accounts as I bought them from others. I bought this computer 3 months ago but maybe it still doesn't classify as new (?) Yes the graphics card is integrated.
Sorry for insufficient information I don't know a lot about the workings behind the game basically just gameplay... :/
Here is my DxDiag
@VildaCullen IMO you can not run a gaming computer with only a 128Gb ssd with out issues. 50Gb is not enough free space for the operating system and applications (games) to create the files they need to run properly. At a minimum you need a data drive to install applications so they don't consume the limited resources of the 128Gb ssd. Games like The Sims 3 will just consume more storage space as you add expansions and you don't have a lot to spare. Once you run out of free space the game can not generate the temp files it needs to execute the game and the game may not run right or crash. The Windows operating system bloats - that is just the way it was and probably ever will be. Prior to the DRM for this game becoming Origin, the DRM was extremely loose and you were able to "share". With Origin an expansion pack (or stuff pack) can only be activated to one Origin account and that account holder "owns" that software. It can not be activated to another account. Once an activation code is used that item is locked to the Origin account in use at the time of activation. The Sims 3 was released with the DRM of SecuROM and SafeDisc. In 2012 Windows and OS X will no longer support the poorly supported DRM of SecuROM and SafeDisc so EA had to replace the DRM with Origin. You no longer have a 3 install limit and you don't need a disc in the optical drive to play once you have the game in Origin and the game updated to version 1.69.
