If experiencing sudden crash issues while playing the game in Live mode, you can try adding the new base game executable to the Data Execution Prevention - or DEP - exceptions list to resolve crashes caused by DEP. This base game executable can be found in the following default locations:
C:\Program Files\Eletronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin\TS3W.exe
Or:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin\TS3W.exe
For instructions on how to selectively turn off DEP please refer to the following link:

If you have previously applied DEP exceptions, you may need to clear them first before applying the new one.
If you require further assistance, can you post a complete DXDiag report of your hardware setup please? Instructions can be found here:
