Re: Random crashing?

I tired repairing the install with origin with no luck, sims still crashed. My drivers are updating from AMD as I type this so I will test it once again. As for opening the amd catalyst control panel, when I right click on my desktop, that isnt an option however "graphics options" is and when I click that, everything under 3D is defaulted.

    Windowed // Windowed-FullScreen do anything versus FullScreen?

    Laptop mode... think that's really only for visuals though.

  • What do you mean? I have the game set to laptop mode, but it was still crashing before i changed the settings.

  • I tried both options as well as turning origin offline and I'm still randomly crashing

    Perhaps post the DXDiag.

    Maybe check computer with SFC /Scannow

    Maybe uninstall reinstall the visual studio package that comes with the sims and reinstall it.

    If it's an option to you... shrink your current partition and install windows fresh clean on the space you carve out...  You can get away without downloading the game again by mapping the new install of origin to the game's location.

    I'm sorry I don't know what else to suggest with the generic logs it's throwing.
