@puzzlezaddict The game only worked one time after I put those IP files in my save.
I later tried after it did it again, to put the files out and put them back again but didn't work.
Now I will try to test my Sims 3 game.

@Aptmass As weird as it is that using an existing save file helped, it is revealing in a way. It seems like your system is blocking the game's access to your user folder in Documents. Turn off your antivirus/firewall again, and run Sims 3 as an administrator. (Right-click on the shortcut you use to launch the game and select "Run as Administrator.")
If that alone doesn't fix things, the issue might be Controlled Folder Access, a feature of Windows 10. You can disable it entirely or set an exception for TS3W.exe. This guide is for Sims 4, but the principle is exactly the same.

- @puzzlezaddict Nope.
@Aptmass Please run a new dxdiag; I'd like to see if the new drivers are throwing any errors when Sims 3 crashes.
And did anything change when you altered the Controlled Folder Access settings? As in, did you get any new errors, or did the game behave differently?
Here you go:
