You would then test the game. Removing this makes the game generate a new folder, tricking it into thinking it's a brand new game. This can help solve a lot of problems, even some that had been occurring since the game was first played.

If the problem was in the files you deleted, it shouldn't crash again. If it does, we'll have to go through this same process, and see if you managed to get a bad save or something again.

I guess its the Sims Cache Problem

its like in the internet browser too many Cache/cookie might slow your browsing and you have no choice but to clean it.

Your computer can't handle the cache of your sims so it end up of blue screen which usually cause by overheat

most of them are in laptop cause laptop are not made for games :3

Delete the following

simCompositorCache.package
compositorCache.package
and all of the things inside of the DCBackup Folder

Search it in the internet if theres anything you need to remove

that's all I know (FOR NOW)

It's located in the following.
Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3
Or Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\DCbackup

But since you already said you did delete The folder, pry a issue with installation. So might need to completely uninstall, reboot, and re-install. But wait to see if anyone else has some insight on another solution first.

Hello,

Yes removing the "The Sims 3" folder cleared the caches.
Are you on a desktop computer? A blue screen can also be caused by hardware problems. It could be that one of your cards isn't firmly in it's slot. I'd feel more comfortable if you did nothing until Admin confirms my hypothesis though.

Hello there,

Yes, a blue screen can be caused by a lot of things, usually hardware issues. (But it can be a corrupt program too)
What kind of PC is it? Custom-built?

Hello,

There's definitely something weird going on with your PC.
Is this a new laptop? And do you have this same problem with other programs too?
