Crashing
Everytime I start the game it crashes after a few seconds! It gets very frustrating. Sometimes it works but then the next day whenI play it crashes again! :(

Can you tell us what troubleshooting steps you've tried, and also what your computer specs are?

Hi everyone. I had the exact same problem and went through the whole checklist of possible crash causes. What finaly made it work for me (with a clean install and no mods) was to update my BIOS and motherboard chipset drivers. Before that I had crashes that rebooted my computer a couple of minutes into gameplay. On ASUS homepage (my motherboard is ASUS), it stated in one of the newer drivers that it fixed a problem with certain NVIDIA graphic cards.

I know how frustrating it is to not being able to enjoy your game. I sincerely hope that you get your game up and running. Good luck!

EDIT: Be very careful when you update your BIOS so you do not "brick" your computer. Not sure if you can brick it but if the boot order is changed your might end up with errors such as "no bootloader found" when starting your computer. If you do not know how to rearrange the boot order in BIOS, ask someone who is more computer savvy to help you.

I restarted my computer and it worked when I turned The Sims 3 on.
