sims 3 error code 12?

ok so i recently downloaded the seasons and super natural expansions for sims 3 and since then have had issue after issue. 
Firstly, the game keeps crashing on me.... i couldnt even finish creating a family before it would crash. i read internet forums and was told to go in and delete some files blah blah blah..... anyway that worked for a couple days. 

however it has now started crashing on me AGAIN! and this time, the game will let me save sometimes and other times comes up with "ERROR CODE 12".

i have tried putting the game on pause and then saving, also have tried doing save as and renaming the game... thinking the save file might be corupted..... still no luck! and then the game seems to just crash on me again anyway. i can usually tell when its about to crash because the sims faces/bodies turn black and they start flashing in and out of different clothes etc.

someone please help me!!

    Could you post your Computer's DxDiag?

    To gather a DxDiag on your computer, please follow the steps below:

    If you have Microsoft Windows XP:
    1. Click the Start button on the Windows Taskbar.
    2. Select Run.
    3. Type dxdiag in the available text field.
    4. Click OK.
    5. Click Save All Information.

    If you have Windows Vista/Win 7 and do not have a Run selection:

    1. Click On Start
    2. Type dxdiag into Search Box
    3. Program opens
    4. Click Save All Information.

    Windows 8

    1. Make sure you are on the tiled screen
    2. Type DxDiag and hit enter
    3. Program should open
    4. Click Save All Information.

    The whole thing won't fit into one post. Split it up in multiple posts.
