@MaxisJoe I am done with trying to figure this out, I've spent many hours and many days trying to fix this and now my game is unplayable from the crashes. I have every single bug mentioned, from sim packs not installing, water features not working, eyelashes and hair looking bad, now it is fully quitting the second I load one of my saves. I am going to wait this out. I have spent countless hours on these forums, and no good solutions have appeared. I appreciate all your guys' hard work. Please let us know when you have fixed the game, I can't take working on this frustrating game anymore.

I agree as well. The crashes and other bugs make the game unplayable. Please let us know if/when there will be a fix for this!

    @sophtoph4  I don't know when or even if these issues will be fixed, sorry.  It does seem to help many people to play in windowed mode, and perhaps with the settings on low.  I know that's not a great solution though.

    @SarahGirlCutie  Which packs did you install, and what specific issue are you having?  Please attach your deviceconfig.log, in Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 3.  You'll neeed 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.
