Sims3 Crashing almost every half an hour...[SOLVED]

by Guest Wed 22 Aug 2012, 17:21

I wonder if anybody can help me, I've recently got back into the sims3 and have pretty much all the EP's and a few SP's I'm currently trying to struggle through a legacy challenge which is a pain in the neck due to the fact every almost 30 minutes my client will crash and I'll loose a chunk of progress. The only mod I have installed is Awesomemod (which i've checked, is compatible with 1.36 which is the current version I'm running). Using the Crash Log Analyzer tells me my save data is corrupt and I'll need to use a backup or a new neighbourhood. Importing my household into the a completely new neighbourhood does not solve the issue and within the space of half an hour again I'm crashing. This issue is reeeeally making me want to punch EA in the face.

My PC Specs are:
Windows 7 Professional 64bit
Intel Core i7 Dual Core @1.20GHz
8GB DDR3 RAM
Geforce GT 335m

Edit: PS I have already tried the DEP fix, no joy.

I've installed Overwatch and Gamebooster, hopefully this fixes the issues ^_^

Well ive done some testing and no crashes as of yet! I'm not sure if it'll happen again but it at least has stopped the frequency. As well as the above steps I also removed the dep settings and set them again. Thank you for the advice!

So after a few hours of testing it seems alot more stable now Smile

Not a single crash! Thank you again for the assistance! Now i can finally enjoy finishing this legacy challenge without needing to replay days and days worth of game-time xD
