You're graphic chip is below specs. You need at least 128 MB of dedicated memory, you only have 64 MB
Try lowering your graphic settings and turn off mirror reflections.
Also update your graphics drivers. Yours are 2 years old.
How do I lower my graphics setting on my computer? Because I have lowered my graphics in my game to the absolute minimum. I have had my computer for 1 year now and I want to know how to update my chip. Can I go to an electronic store and buy a new one? If so, how do I put it inside my computer?

If it's a laptop, that is usually not possible.
Did you also turn off mirror reflections (yes, ingame options) ?

Yes I have. My friend has more expansion packs, has her graphics in the game all the way up, has more custom content, and her game has never froze. She has had her laptop for years now but it is a logitech(I don't know if that makes a difference).

Well, without knownig their specs, it's hard to tell.
Are you willing to try a third party tool ? There's a tool called crash log analyzer (just google).
It's not a magic tool that can stop the crashes but it can give an indication to where the error lies. Just copy the errors you get to the clipboard and post them here.
This tool is not supported by EA so you'll be using it at your own risk

If this doesn't help, please open your own thread with the following information
- What is your operating system
- At what point does your game crash ? Any regularities ?
- How long can you usually play ?
- Which EP/SPs do you have installed ?
- Are you using custom content and mods in your game ?
- It's also good to include your DxDiag: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-3/HOW-TO-DxDiag-for-Sims-3-PC-Only/td-p/1049584
