It's NOT the game, it's your computer, it must be old, or have a lot of files on it, because my computer is semi new, and my game works perfectly! OR try uninstalling and then install it again.

Sometimes you need to add exceptions for your sims 3 applications (all the eps not just the base) to dep.
My generations game was crashing and I changed the dep exceptions (to make sure all sims 3 applications were in the exceptions list and now it's working.
Still, please refrain from being so negative and a supercilious thing.
Colmanjes, I hope mine runs as smoothly as yours does!
That's not true. My computer is fairly new, a few months old actually, and I have plenty of free space on my hard drive. It's better than the recommended system requirements. Granted I don't have a lot of problems like other players but there are some bugs like body hair not sticking and sims stuck or disappears if you try to recall your teen back from boarding school. Since other people have similar problems it has to be the game. You were just one of the lucky ones that have no problems.
Go to your control panel
Click on System
Click Advanced System Settings
A message might come up asking for confirmation, click ok
Under Advanced tab click the settings button (under performance)
Click on Data Execution Prevention tab
Click "turn on dep for all programs and services except those I select"
Then add all the sims 3 files to the exceptions. (Like the application files that you'd click if you wanted to run the game)
I have Vista though, might be different for you...
Maybe people do have problems with their computers but it's not just because they're old...some are new, but it really doesn't help anything giving out to them. It's not their fault they have problems.
I'm being mean?! I am trying to help, and thats your problem not mine, I was just trying to help, and also a lot of people who pre-ordered DO have problems, I bought mine from Target, and mine works fine, but for you to tell me I'm being negative? Hop off please.
I hope yours does work good!
Lol 'hope off'!!! never heard that before funny
LOL, I'm glad you found that funny(:
See, thats what I said , uninstall then reinstall, I'm semi right(x
For shame Colmanjes :oops: You shouldn't presume to know what other's problems are. BTW, you aren't just helping, your being smug and insensitive.
My computer is not old nor I do not have as many glitches or problems as others and I would never presume to tell others that it's their computer.
BTW, I can't get Generations to play longer than 2 or 3 minutes. Any smarmy suggestions about how to fix that. :evil:
Edit: spelling
That said, colmanjes, it is true that your suggestions are not of a technical nature and are far from being helpful in this case. Just for future reference : evoking that the problem is due to other people's products, just because yours runs fine and is semi-new is hardly an acceptable diagnosis and may be seen as insulting to others because, in a way, it is true that you are jumping to conclusions by stating that.
Thanks for the good intention though. 8)
I was just trying to help, I am fourteen and I know a lot about computers, If you uninstall is and reinstall it , it would help people.
This is the first time in the saga of TS3 that this has happened to me. Up until I installed Late Night I had a problem free game. I was one of the blessed!!!
After Late Night game began to lag, turned out to be build up of cars and items in inventories bloating the game. Was forced to take the plunge and install Twallans Overwatch Mod.
Hey Presto a fully playable game once more.
After carefully removing all mods etcetera and installing and updating....
Constant crashes within five seconds of starting a game!!!.
Seems I am no longer one of the blessed!!
Actually you're wrong I have a 4 year old computer that used to play it And the graphics card wasn't supposed to work with it. And I had a friend that bought a brand new computer and it still didn't play her game.
After a while the graphics went, and I got a new computer, and I still have problems now and then and this one is supposed to run it perfectly. So no, in my case it is the game not the computer.
Normally I would agree with you. But her first post came off as rude, therefore people are going to reply to her as rude. By her age she should know not to assume anything about anyone she doesn't know. How does she know that everyone who is having problems with her games is due to having an old computer? I have a friend that just bought a new computer with the perfect specs to play sims and it still won't. So her logic in that matter was invalid. Just because her game works perfectly on her "semi new computer" doesn't mean it works perfectly for someone else who has the same "semi new computer"
Respect is earned when respect is given.
It is all fine and dandy that you're lucky enough that your game runs fine, but there are others who literally can't play their games. I haven't reached that point but I do have bugs. For example, I can't excavate in World Adventures. That started months ago even before I put mods or CC into my game. And for your information, I fixed a good portion of my game with Twallan's mods. If it were my computer and not the game, his mods would not have worked.
I did not come off rude, you don't know me , this post that I'm posting IS coming off rude, because this post makes me mad, I wasn't coming off rude, I was trying to help and YES uninstalling and reinstalling does help with A LOT of people, so YOU don't need to be rude to me, for trying to help people who are insulting me, don't comment on this again, thanks.
Thanks!(:
