Re: my sims keeps crashing and i've tried all the recommended fixes

This worked for me:

take the sims folder out of electronic arts and then restart your computer. Then start the game and it will open in fullscreen mode and it only seems to work in fullscreen. And you can drag any of your mods to the new sims folder. Make sure you don't try to switch to windowed mode or it will keep crashing as it only seems to work with fullscreen.
