Yes I can- I have all other EP's apart from Supernatural and Into the Future and I can run all other worlds fine, including Riverview and Lucky Palms, so it is only Isla Paradiso that is giving me this problem. I highly doubt the video card is the issue as it as 1GB of dedicated memory so I don't know what else can be causing this issue.
Islo Paradiso does have a lot of problems. Routing issues and the large world with an entire routable ocean are just an example.
Things you can try:
- Sims in Slow Motion
- Delete the Scott Family
- Use the cheat DiscoverAllUnchartedIslands to make all islands visible. I'm aware that this takes away from the fun but it seems to help some.
- Make sure you have no stuck sims in your town (use the cheat resetsim * to reset all sims in your town and put them to a safe location)
- Use Overwatch and ErrorTrap (those are mods and you'll be using at your own risk. Not supported by EA. Just google to find)
- Check for any aboandonned boats in your game and delete them by using testingcheatsenabled true and then shift-click on the boat and choose object-delete.

I just played my Starlight Shores game and it also crashed, but this was after an hour and playing with a family of 5. So it looks like my problem is not just with my Isla Paradiso family. Why is this happening with this world too? I had this same saved game on my old laptop and it never crashed so why is this happening all of a sudden?
My Appaloosa Plains file is crashing also, although this was a file I had problems with on my old laptop too.
