What happens if you apply the "4 GB patch" ? https://games4theworld.forumotion.com/t857-the-sims-3-crashes-freezes-to-desktop-fix-updated-on-14-07-2013

(look at #3, but also #2).

Double-click on the 4 GB patch and select the "TS3W.exe" in the base game location. Good luck !

It will allow the game to use more RAM, so please try this.

I'm not sure, but are your graphics drivers up-to-date ? And can you, in the options menu, reduce the graphics settings ? You can even try playing in "windowed mode". And make sure to read the article I posted above completely: did you already try the thing with the "DEP" ?

Besides, it is normal, that the game takes a lot of RAM. Also, try removing the cache in My documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3:


-CASPartCache.package
-compositorCache.package

-scriptCache.package
-simCompositorCache.package
-socialCache.package
-plus the contents of the folders "WorldCaches" & "Thumbnails"
-and the folder "Currentgame.sims3"


And next time, please use the "edit"-button if you want to add something to your post; double-posting is considered impolite here...

Read this if this happens to all of your saves.

I'm sorry, but the only thing I can suggest now is that you don't "add more than two pets". So leave the pets for a while, and play on. Maybe this is an in-game bug.

Go ahead - and test the other feature in the game.
