Have you tried all the stuff here: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-3/FAQ-Game-Crashes-CTD/td-p/656/ ?

- At what point does your game crash ? Any regularities ?
- Does it only happen on that one savegame or also when you start a new game for testing purposes ?
- How long can you usually play ?
- Which EP/SPs do you have installed ?
- Are you using custom content and mods in your game ?
- It's also good to include your DxDiag: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-3/HOW-TO-DxDiag-for-Sims-3-PC-Only/td-p/1049584
I deleted most of my CC, and mods, then i ran the game without CC and now it works! but when i go to change my sims apperance, it wont let me, i can deal with not changing my sims looks, though.
Could you post the rest of your specs. The processor is below minimium requirements so it's possible Pets put it over the edge.
