Sims 3 keeps crashing
I can play the game for up to 15 min before it'll crash. My PC is pretty beefy and I have to set the affinity to CPU 1 whenever I play, then go in and set it to all once the game opens. I just want ...
@cole9136 What world(s) are you playing in, and does the game run better in Sunset Valley? Please test and let me know. Please also list any mods you use. It's fine if you have them; I just need to know.
Finally, please run a dxdiag and attach it to a post.

I have quite a lot of mods/cc installed, would it be easier to upload a link to a Google doc?
I'm also playing with Supernatural, University Life, Generations, Island Paradise, Seasons and Pets turned on expansion pack wise.
@cole9136 I need to know what world you're playing in, not just the EPs you have installed.
For the mods and cc, try playing without them. You don't need to save your progress; this is just for testing. Mods mods and cc can be safely removed; the only major exceptions I know of are AwesomeMod (it has uninstall instructions) and a very adult-oriented mod that will corrupt saves even when used as directed.
I'm playing on Sunlit Tides, however I didn't buy it from the exchange if you know what I mean?
I removed mods/cc and it doesn't seem to have crashed after 15 min like it usually. So I fear a mod might be the cause.
Would like to add that I removed NRaas Story Progression mod and the game has yet to crash, so I think that was the issue. 🙂
