Sims 3 crashing after Supernatural Expansion pack installation
After recently installing the supernatural expansion pack my sims game now freezes after 10/15 minutes of gameplay wherever that may be.
It crashes however you can still move the on screen cursor around however unable to click on anything. The program is then listed as non responding in the task manager
I have tried all of the normal fixes;
DEP, deleting the sims in my docs folder, running in xp compatability, windowed mode, however this has not helped. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
