Not sure what to tell you.
The processor you have is certainly not a high-end gaming CPU as you can read here: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Short-Review-AMD-A4-5000-APU-Kabini.93173.0.html
It's rather a subnetbook and it might just be an issue of too many expansion packs for the computer. It does seem to be able to play a few newer games on low settings but the Sims 3 is a hog and if you have all expansion packs, it might be the reason for your crashes.
DId you move over any custom content as well ?
Ok, so I should uninstall some expansion packs? And I have cc and have tried using the game with or without it.

you should uninstall some ep's and cc. You can always add back to figureout what maybe the issue. Before unintsalling ep's which ones do you have? Some take more Ram than others and I would uninstall the ones that take up more ram first

If you do have CC, make sure to also clear your cache files.
You could even try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-3/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps/td-p/714/
You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files and make a backup.

I just noticed you have an error in your internet explorer. I think there is some security issue with it. I know you can turn it off . I think I turned mine off but I cant remember where or how I did it since I have been dealing with so many computer issues on windows 8 😕mileyhappy:
Maybe someone will chime in on the IE issue and can direct you further

Hi there. I've been playing Sims3 for about a year. I recently got a new computer(HP Pavilion Desktop with Windows 8.1). This computer is brand new, not refurbished. I got it last week and I put the sims on and I played for a little bit, but then it crashed. I thought maybe it was a glitch so I got back on and it did it again. I have tried literally EVERYTHING and it still won't work. I've cleared cache files. I put all of my Sims 3 files into the DEP and nothing. I don't have any MODS. Can someone PLEASE HELP!!!
