Hiya,
Returning to play the Sims 3 (I haven't felt the need to buy Sims 4 either).
I get a message during my install of Origin and it stops installing and reports "checking whether origin is currently running..." and just stays at that point.
I have never had Origin on this machine, can anyone advise?

since you mentioned your crashing in another thread If you could please post you computer specs . Windows key + R key will open your run box in the lower left hand corner of your computer. In the run box type DxDiag. Hit ok, let it load than choose to save a copy to your desktop. Open the DxDiag text file at desktop, copy and past the report in several sections in several posts. The file is too long to put in one post Thank you
Bit rubbish at the tech side of computers, let me know if there's anything missing. And the issue is when a Sim travels to University, they drive off and it loads up the transition screen and the bar doesn't move at all and eventually it crashes.
Thank you so much for taking a look.
Intel(R) Core 2 Duo CPU E7300 @2.66GHz.

These are video cards tested and what video cards will run which eps. Your card is an Nvidia GT 9400 http://modthesims.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:TS3_System_Requirements
Edit: went back and read your post that it would run before. @igazor input thanks
Personally I wouldn't attempt anything more than the base game plus maybe the first three or four EPs that came out on this system,and even then it sounds like the threat of crashes and Error12s would be just around every corner.

I believe my PC is a 32bit. I have turned down my settings ever so slightly again as it began to lag. I'm also now only running University, Pets, Generations and Supernatural, although I don't use pets and do turn them off in the settings. I use the EP more for some of the clothes.
I was running more EP's but I decided to turn them off.
Cheers
Pets is the most demanding ep in the game. With IP, ITF and seasons. You need a mid range gaming desktop to run them efficiently. I agree with igazor you computer can not handle later eps.
I believe even if you have the eps you cant run still installed in your computer, it will still effect your saves since I believe the game would be saving those eps when you save. Would like @igazor input on this
The game itself can use up to around 3.7 GB of RAM. A fresh one starting out would likely be using less than 2 GB depending on the size and complexity of the world and active household being played, but that usage tends to increase as the ongoing game progresses for most players. With only 3 GB total and the operating system and background processes taking up a large chunk of that, there just isn't going to be enough left for the game to work with.
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E7300 @ 2.66GHz (2 CPUs), ~2.7GHz

@munchiepoo - When we say Pets is the most demanding, no we don't just mean actually having animals in the game we mean the Pets EP. Sorry if that was confusing. This system's RAM limitations and graphics card are likely not going to be able to work reliably or very well at all with any EP released after Generations or so. Uni and Supernatural are less demanding than some of the others, but could still be a bit too much for it to handle.
As for being installed but not running, does that mean unselected on Patch 1.69's EP/SP Chooser? That might actually be okay, I don't think installed but unselected EPs load during the startup process so they wouldn't actually be adding any overhead to the game if they stay unused. But once a saved game has "seen" certain EPs, it cannot be played forward without them loaded up or the saved game will refuse to load, crash, or become corrupt.

That means the player has a 6 GB capacity Paging File (virtual memory file), which is fine for that. But TS3 doesn't make all that much use of virtual memory like other processes do. If it did, the constant paging in and out would be unstable and still insufficient to carry the entire game with total RAM so tight.

@igazor I know what it means It was my mistake thinking I was reading it as physical ram when op really only has less than 4gb computer usable ram because of 32 bit OS
I did just enter University (and didn't crash), I tried it without thinking and as soon as I sent my Sim off, I realised I didn't save but all was good.
I turned down some of my settings a bit more to see if it would help, it does help with performance.
