Hello,

I've had this problem for a while, i'll be playing my game for like a couple minutes and then it'll either freeze up and i'll have to close it with out saving, or it'll just close down on its own. I don't really download anything so it can't be because of that. i've tried almost everything. I can't uninstall and reinstall everything because I don't have all of my games any more so that would just suck. I have Windows 7, if that helps. help me please?

Hey try right clicking the sims icon on the desktop and going to properties.

Once you're there go to the compatibility tab and change the format that the game runs in. I had it running on windows xp mode or something and so when I changed it to windows 7, I haven't had a crash yet. I hope this helps!

Go to Control panel
System and Security
System
Advanced System Settings
Performance > Settings
Data Execution Prevention
Then click the second option and turn off dep for sims launcher and expansions packs.

Yeah, that happens to me too, it usually happens to people on laptops so if you re doing that, it might be the reason, The Sims 3 is a powerful game unlike others, so it won't be able to handle well on any system, it even crashes on $5000 gaming systems, the game is unstable and that's Maxis's fault, so it's inevitable and nobody can help you, just blame EA and Maxis for making the game too powerful.

I have the exact same problem! Me and My two older sisters have Windows 8, and we have recently installed Sims 3 and then a day after I installed Late night, and so did my older sisters. Then it would randomly say something along the line of 'Sims 3 have stopped working' forcing me to shut down the game. I need help? It doesn't happen to my sisters? And we all have the same laptops?

I bet even with top of the line latest CPU, memory and graphics the game would still freeze. My laptop is window 8.1 with 2.40GHz and 4GB of RAM. bye

hey the reason is its unstable is because it is a game that consumes more memory as you perform more events in game. a switch off and restart every hour will help to eliminate the memory being over consumed and game crash. also try stay offline as the server may be a problem but im still testing that right now,
