    @shaken_martini First thing I checked is if your video chip is in the TS3 database and it is not there. Here is the how to I used for my GTX 960 - link - add a new video card to Sims 3 If you are a casual Windows user your going to have numerous issues with free space on the system 256Gb ssd. While its ok for advanced users, the casual Windows user should not have to contend with operating system house keeping to play games. Until ssds mature and come down in price there are issues that affect the benefits. I think ASUS is using the Nahimic audio driver. This is a sound effects mixer that adds echo and other affects and is known to crash games. Also check to see if there is a newer video driver.
