Sims 3 : Screen suddenly goes black when I play game for a while
I have this issue for quite sometime, I am not sure Is it my game or my computer problem but my computer is fine even whenever I worked on program like Ai or Pr but It's not fine when I played the sims 3.
I can play for about 20-30 minutes and screen goes to black. Sometime I still can control my sim but I can't do anything. At first, I thought It was some mods that might cause it but I tried remove all mod but It still went black and pop up as "d-sub no signal entering the power saving mode shortly" which I was already fix a months ago.
Thank you
@srpnizz This particular error is an access violation, meaning that Sims 3 tried to access a memory address in a way that's not allowed. When Windows detects this behavior, it shuts down the application.
The issue is that access violations are extremely common and a very broad category. They can be caused by anything from bad mods or custom content to an in-game bug to going over the game's memory limit to a hardware issue with your computer. The place to start is with mods and cc: if you currently have any at all other than NRaas mods, remove all the content and see what happens. That can include cc that you've used for a long time—an item might only become a problem when it's assigned to the wrong sim.
Please also let me know what was happening in-game when you got the black screen, not only that you were in live mode but what your sims were doing and what sim-time of day it was.
