I just spent like over 1 hour and 1/2 creating a family and building a house for them, I have not started playing them, My game runs good and it don't crash or anything else, all my graphics are on high except for the trees and one thing uncheck, other then that, the graphics are great, sorry to hear alot of players are having trouble, my only suggestion is if anyone has trouble, try to uninstall it and reinstall it, maybe it didn't install right, I have no problems as of yet.
