Sims 3 Crashing After 10 Minutes

I havent played the sims for a few months now. The game started no problems and I got to create a family and spent about half an hour creating one sim when the game crashed. Ive been looking on forums and have so far: checked that my game meets the standards (and it does), downloaded a game booster (which did nothing), updated the game and used the compatability troubleshooter. None of these worked and Im getting really angry at it. Is there anyway to fix this problem? Please help! (My computer is a gaming laptop, Lenovo running Windows 7 with a 64bit operating system)

    No, is there a way to do it without losing my families, houses etc?

    I tried those things listed and none have worked. My operating system is Windows 7 on a 64 bit operating system. My game crashes after loading, I get to create a family and up to the clothes stage and it crashes. I can usually play for around ten minutes. The EP's I have installed are: High-end loft stuff, Pets, Late Night and Showtime. I have downloaded mods but I dont have a 'Mods' folder in my Documents/ElectronicArts/TheSims3 folder. 

    Here is my DxDiag:

    Thank you!

  • You mean you have custom content like hair and stuff installed through the launcher but no mods that alter the gameplay ?

    Your drivers are 4 years old. Update them. You have a AMD Radeon HD 6370M and you can get the newest one here: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download

    Also try if lowering the graphics settings helps.

    i3s have a history of overheating. Make sure you have enough cooling and clean out the fans regularly. If it's a desktop, open it up and clean out the dust,

    After uninstalling the sims and all the expansion packs, and then re-installing them and adding my mods, the game worked perfectly. I have had now problems since and have even got a new expansion pack (: Thank you for your help!
