So a week ago i thought i would get back into Sims 3 and i started up the game as i regularly did, i went to create a new family and it crashed. Everytime i try to load or create a sim now it will crash. i have checked the Integrity of my files, i have done the change resolution to window and such, i have F**ked with the DEP settings, this is really getting pathetic :/ P.S yes i have played it before around 30 hours...
Have you tried all the stuff here: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-3/FAQ-Game-Crashes-CTD/td-p/656/ ?

Your specs look fine.
Check if your graphic card is properly recognized by the game:
http://sims3.crinrict.com/en/2013/06/getting-the-game-to-recognize-your-card.html
I went to my DeviceConfig text document and it said that i had my gtx 470 hooked up *found 1 is what it said.
so it recognizes my graphics card
Are you willing to try a third party tool ? There's a tool called crash log analyzer (just google).
It's not a magic tool that can stop the crashes but it can give an indication to where the error lies. Just copy the errors you get to the clipboard and post them here.
This tool is not supported by EA so you'll be using it at your own risk

Did you try to run the game manually through ts3.exe ? That one warning about the wrong exe is a bit weird.
Seems you're running out of memory somewhere.
Did you try to reduce some of the graphics settings ? Shut down some background processes you don't need while playing ?
