The Sims 3 not working after the new update

Question

I just recently updated the Sims 3 and I have tried to play multiple times but it crashes not even a minute into game play. I cannot un-install the game because I no longer have the activation codes or anything like that. Geek Squad said it may be a corrupt file in the update. My system has all the requirements and was playing perfectly fine for hours before I updated it. Any suggestions?

At what point does your game crash ? Any regularities ?
How long can you usually play ?
Which EP/SPs do you have installed ?
Are you using custom content and mods in your game ?
