"Sims 3 has stopped working"

almost every time I play the game after Variable time the game closes it self and a window pops up and says "Sims 3 has stopped working - a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available"

it makes it very difficult to play the game each time. I would love to get some help here, thanks.

  • I uninstalled and reinstalled Origin. Then I restored my Sims 3 game to a previous save point. (Right click the game. Select Properties). That worked for me. 

  • ow I generally fix this, if after a complete PC restart and its still doing it, I open Origin, check for updates under sims 3, for what ever reason, it may stay "update failed or download failed" which ever one BUT once thats done, click play and then it works
