@SimplifiedSimi Please make sure the framerate limit is being honored. Open the cheats console (ctrl-shift-C) and enter fps on , and the fps counter will appear in the upper-right corner.
If your fps is in fact limited to 60, please try playing in a clean user folder. Move the entire Sims 3 folder out of Documents > Electronic Arts and onto your desktop, and when you launch the game, a clean folder will spawn with no content. (Your saves and other content will be intact in the folder you moved but temporarily not read by the game.) Don't add anything to the new folder yet; just start a new save and see how it runs.
If you get another crash, please run a dxdiag and attach it to a post.

So I did what you said, I took out my sims3 folder and it generated a new folder. Turned on fps the framerate limit is being honored. No crashing on town view or tab mode so yay. However, when I tried to install store content its not showing up in game. I am downloading straight from the store.
@SimplifiedSimi Just checking, but did you install the Store content too, as a separate step? Downloading it doesn't add it to the game; you need to install it through the launcher's Downloads tab.
If you've done that and it's not working, please start with another clean user folder (simpler than cleaning out this new one), then download only one Store item and test it. If that works, download something larger, like a compilation or world, and install that too, but nothing else at the same time.
If even the one Store item doesn't install, please open Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 3 > DCCache and post a screenshot of the contents. Let me know which item you tested as well so I have some idea of how large the dcdb0.ebc file should be.
