Infamous Blank Main Screen?

The first time I got the blank screen was when one of my saves were corrupted. I have no idea how, (it said ChampesLesSims.sims3.bad) so I just deleted it and renamed the backup to sims3 and tried to play from that instead. The blank screen was gone and I was able to play, but the game only crashed right after I came back from Shang Simla. So, fed up with that, I made a new family it was playing normally (only crashing after a few hours due to the ram on my laptop, but otherwise no problem). Then just yesterday I updated to 1.67 and tried to replay it again, but I was asked to insert the into the future disk. Instead, I reapplied the crack I had from downloading the torrent and now i have the blank screen again. 
Could it be from that? I kinda feel like an idiot, I'm not exactly good with this.
If you need to know I already have most of the expansion packs - base game, world adventures, ambitions, fast lane stuff, late night, generations, pets, and everything from showtime to into the future.

Thank you! Worked perfectly

Actually, do you also have a solution to the crashing issue? Because I just tried playing it and it crashed within 10 minutes again.
