The Sims 3 Crashing problem
I just installed all of my previously owned Sims 3 game and expansion packs – in the correct order – to my new computer. Everything worked great for a month. Then I purchased “Into The Future”. Now ...

I assume that after uninstalling ITF, you still had your game patched to 1.67 ?
Did you have it patched before you installed ITF and was it working then ?
Your graphics drivers are outdated and need an update and the chip is below minimum requirements since you need 128 MB of dedicated memory and you have only 64 MB. Since you said you have the lowest settings, it might still work though.
Also did you add all expansion files to DEP as well or just the ts3w.exe ?
------------------------
If you 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
Yes, the game patch 1.67 was installed at the time of installing ITF. The game was working fine before that time. I have been reading more information and have noticed that many people are having a problem after the 1.67 patch. How do I uninstall the patch?
I only changed to the lowest graphic settings when trying to make ITF work. Before that, I had graphics at default settings and it was working fine running
Seasons which also requires 128MB of video RAM. How would ITF be different?
(I also had all of these games through Seasons runnung on a 5 year old PC with Vista with 64MB of video RAM for over a year and they were working fine and the game with all expansion packs through Seasons was woring fine on my new computer before the patch)
I added all expansion files to DEP as per http://help.ea.com/en/article/how-to-manage-dep-settings/
I will try the third party tool if uninstalling the 1.67 patch does not work. How do I uninstall the patch? or Do I just uninstall all of my packs and base game (again) run a system repair, and then reinstall all of the packs (in order) and refuse to install the patch and see if that works?
I also never had Origin installed on my computer before. I was forced to install Origin when I was told by the launcher to run the 1.67 patch. Could that be the problem?
