Sims 3 keeps crashing
Hi everyone! Due to being stuck in the coronavirus lockdown, I installed The Sims 3 + expansion packs again via Origin a few days ago, after years of not playing. The first few days everything went ...
@filleatomique A program ProductUpdater.exe is NOT a Windows core file. It seems to be generating errors. Do you have a utility program that checks for possible updates? It may have been installed with FreemakeVideoDownloader. As it is generating errors I would recommend removal.
@roberta591 I've deleted Freemake and completely reinstalled Sims but it still crashes. How can I check whether other programs are annoying my Sims game? (thank you!!)
@filleatomique run dxdiag again and check the end for errors

That UpdateTool.exe is still showing up. Is it something from Origin? Could it be my Intel updater thing?
@filleatomique it appears UpdateTool.exe is part of Origin which is the DRM for this game. ProductUpdater.exe is not the same program and ProductUpdater.exe was causing errors.
