Sims 3 crashing every 5 minutes

Hi, I've contacted EA about this issue a few times but i didn't get much help.

I recently bought myself a PC, I decided to download the sims 3 and a few packs since I didn't have it on my previous computer. I didn't try and move saves over or anything since I had none previously. The game downloaded perfectly fine as well as the 4 expansion packs and single stuff pack I got. The game runs perfectly in CAS but as soon as i start gameplay, or even in build mode, the game crashes after 5 minutes without fail every time. It displays an error message saying "the sims 3 has stopped responding" (please see attached screenshot). I've turned all my settings down for graphics, weather, etc and I don't have any CC. I've tried playing in offline mode too but nothing seems to be fixing the issue. I love the sims 3 so much and prefer playing it to the sims 4 so I'll be gutted if i can't find a way to fix this. Please help guys! thank you 🙂
