Sims 3 keeps crashing even though it's installed correctly Empty Sims 3 keeps crashing even though it's installed correctly

Post by Guest Fri 08 Jun 2012, 10:04

So I just got a new computer, Asus N56VM, 64bit, Intel Core i7-3610QM, 2.3GHz processor and 8GB of RAM, Windows 7.
I installed everything the way it's supposed to, using the ultimate fix and I swear I've installed it correctly. It worked on my old computer just fine even though it was so old and slow. On the new one it works, although it crashes every 10 min and I can never save my work in time. On my old computer it would freeze, but if I left it for a while it would work again. On this one when it freezes that's it. It won't work again.

I was wondering if there's something missing like a file on my computer or something? Cause I've uninstalled it and re-installed a few times now.

Thanks!

//EDIT

Also it can play other games like Saints Row the Third just fine. Barely any lagging.

Hey,

Thank you! It's pretty awesome. XD

Um, actually yes I do. I have Hidden Springs. I installed it off a disk. So pirated. And no mods. But it worked on my old computer. That's the thing that confuses me. I have the exact same things.

Thanks!

Hello,

Hidden Springs... you probably installed it using an installer, didn't you?
Try removing all the extra stuff you added to the game, completely. Then restart the game and see if there's any difference.

Hi,

Yeah I've just removed all the custom content and did everything on this page https://games4theworld.forumotion.com/t857-the-sims-3-crashes-freezes-to-desktop-fix-updated-on-10-01-2012
It's still crashing but now I've realized it mostly crashes during the Create A Sim.

Thanks!

//EDIT

Oh it crashes whenever it's in Create A Sim or Build or Buy. It doesn't always crash but mostly it does

Hello,

Try removing the Hidden Springs world completely from your PC and from the game. (Be sure to backup your savegames)
Lower all in-game graphic settings, restart the game and let me know the result.

Hi,

Um, how do you completely remove it from your PC? Cause it's no longer there when I open the Launcher and go to the downloads folder but I'm not sure how to completely remove it. I've gone to the Sims 3 folder, and deleted the file that was in the Packages folder in the Mods folder.

Thanks!

Hello,

If it's not in the Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\ (any folder) any more, it's probably removed.

Did you remove all your mods/cc, and try running the game like that?

Is your Sims 3 base game or any expansion installed from the disk, then installed any pirate exp?

i bring it up because my sister used Base game and i got her pirate exp and she crashes almost always because of it.. and she doesn't freak out.. kinda odd.

Kind of off topic here, but I have a few of the expansions that were bought, along with the base game, and that's never caused any crashing issues for me.

Hey all. Smile

Well, my base game and my expansions are all pirated but this never caused any problems before.
Nah I'm not getting that error.

Admin, I've actually tried everything on that page, hasn't worked.

Do you get any notification at startup about any type of error? And what does it tell you when it crashes?

It starts completely normal. Usually when it crashes it's just the standard Sims 3 has stopped working. Sometimes it automatically shuts it down for me, sometimes it asks if I would like to shut it down or wait for it to respond (which it never does) but mostly it just freezes and I have to open task manager and force it shut.

Hello,

Please open the game's launcher and hover your mouse over the base game icon, what version does it show? It starts with 1.xx.xx .
