Not happy with support

I've got an issue with Supernatural (below). The suggested solution didn't work. I can't now get back to the live chat advice because of "Technical Problems" which seem not to end. It won't let me resubmit a new enquiry... how do I get help now???

The problem:

My daughter has used Sims 3 vanilla for some time on her computer. We gave her Supernatural as a reward for good schoolwork. Despite trying a range of things, it kept crashing during the create a Sim stage, displaying “SIMS 3 has stopped working” . She is very upset.

 

I installed on my computer, which runs everything easily (Skyrim Mass Effect 3 etc), and exactly the same thing happens. Given the two different setups, I don't think the DXDIAG route is the thing.

 

It seems time dependent- I can get one character out OK. I can get two out if I don't edit much, but eventually it freezes.

 

I've read through the various forums, but apart from specs, and clearing caches (which won't apply on my machine as the install was new), and applying the update via the launcher, nothing seemed obvious.

 

I contacted via the live chat method, and was given this advice:

“Go to document\electronic arts\sims 3\dc cache and delete the missingdeps.idx then check your game. “

 

I did this- it didn't solve the problem.
