also check your saves folder if any have .bad at the end of them delete them they are no good and also chck the CurrentGame.sims3 if there are files in there too delete them normally while the game is playing files will build up in there but when we save and quit that folder should be empty if it's not empty then it's going to make getting a save difficult
I did the DEP thing like they said in the link but its still crushing. Also , I deleted those files but overtime the game crushes these files appear again.
I don't know what else I can do.
