@tianasarah2003 There have been a couple of cases where updating from Catalina to Big Sur has helped with crashing issues, but the underlying problem may have been corrupt system files. (The new OS means a fresh install, so no more corrupt files.) I don't think that Sims 3 necessarily runs any better in Big Sur than it does in Mojave.
When the game crashes and you reload, can you get past that same in-game time in your next play session? That would suggest that the issue is probably not anything happening at that time in-game, although it's always possible.
Please also attach your deviceconfig.log to a post; it's in Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 3. (You'll need to manually open the folders; the file won't show up in a search.) You can delete your user and computer names, about 25 lines down, but there's nothing else in that file that can identify you.
I'll upload the deviceconfig.log now and I'll test to see if I can play longer on that same save and tell you that on another message. 🙂
