Sims 3 Max Memory Used, Continuous Crashing HELP!

I have been encountering issues recently when creating my monster mansion in the sims 3. It's a rather large house with a lot of content inside and it seems that recently I cannot play more that 10 minutes without the build/buy mode bar blacking out. This happens when the game reaches about 3.5GB RAM use. Sometimes, I can rescue the game after this happens by going to edit town mode and saving, but then it will quickly go black again and I have to repeat the process. Additionally, after about 3 of these hurried saves, the game will crash mid-save or while building. 

I have already done the DEP for the sims, and LAA. Additionally, I play in windowed mode with no other applications open other than task manager. 

I do have quite a bit of cc, all the expansions, and most of the store; but I would like to keep playing with all of this as it makes the game especially when building. I am also building in IP if that makes any difference.

I have a wonderful computer that I built specifically for playing the sims.

8 GB RAM

Intel i5 4670K processor

2GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti graphics card 

Windows 8.1 64-bit

With a computer like this, how could sims be constantly crashing? My crash long tells me "Max Memory Used, Consider lowering settings." But, why is this? I understand sims 3 can only utilize 4GB RAM and then goes to virtual memory after that. In my crash log it says that I have 4095 MB total virtual memory and 71 MB free virtual memory. Could it be that the game needs more virtual memory to run this mansion? If so, how do I give it more? Or is it something else?

Please help! I've been building this house for months and I can't wait to play, but it's taking forever to build with all the crashing!

Edit: placing my DxDiag below.

    I don't think there's much you can do. If your game needs 3.5 GB on the process monitor, that's pretty much all the game can get (being a 32 bit application).

    Are you building this mansion in a existing game ? If so, you can try saving it to the bin and then start a new, fresh game that does not have any bloating and place it in there to finish building.

    Also if you have memories turned on, try turning them off. There's also ways to make the save games smaller but I can't talk about those here but you can google Deleting SNAP resources FAQ if you're interested in that solution.

    I have moved it from the bin to new games twice and it helps for a little while then it goes back to crashing.
    I will try to disable memories even though I have no active sims and let you know how it goes.
    Thanks for the reply!

    It's about 30.5MB. Is that a lot?

    Not really. Over 100 would be a lot

    How big is your traveldb.package file ? Maybe you could try moving that to the desktop. You'll loose a pics on made memories but I don't think that's a huge issue for you atm.

    Oh well.

    Willing to share your savegame ? Would like to take how it behaves on my computer.

    To do so, zip it up and upload to Mediafire, DropBox or some other site that doesn't require registration to download.

    PM me the link.

    Sorry for not getting back to you earlier.

    I installed it but have a question before I start testing: Did you ever start game and played or was it only building that crahsed it ?

    Also are you using custom content or mods (I got a missing objects warning). Don't have KPSP installed though and no store in this setup either.
