this ^^^^^
make a thread in Tech Disc with details of what happens when it crashes, a dxdiag, and error reports applicable to your issue here
i'm in Ohio, I can't guess from afar what your computer is doing
Answer : yes, but you need to reinstall the game.
On a public forum, rarely is a "yes or no" question answered with just a yes or no, especially considering the answer is easily found using Google.
Unfortunately, it will require a reinstall to get rid of the update and that probably isn't the answer the OP was hoping for as it will delete the current game.
It doesn't change the fact that the question was a yes or no question.
Not to mention : they're not mutually exclusive. You can ask a question here and Google it too. Just because people behave a certain way because of trend doesn't mean it's the logical or right one. Her question is, in my opinion, very straightforward and appropriate for the official forum of the game she bought.
Yes there is a way to get rid of the update,unfortunately i don't remember what it was,give me a minute to look this up
Found this but im so-so on it.

The only way is to fully uninstall all your Sims 3 games, and then re-install. It doesn't seem worth it, in my opinion.
Yes unfortunately that is what i found....not worth it to me but im not the OP
If you're using mods, remove them. They will have to be updated for the new patch.
That is the most common cause of complete crashes after an update.
It's not a yes or no question if it was she wouldn't of mentioned the fact she can't play her game. All your doing is arguing with people when others are trying to help.
I beg your pardon? The audacity of pointing your finger at people and falsely accusing them is beyond me; not to mention your lack of logic. I was simply giving my insight into what the question really was, and I don't need to justify myself to you. The rest of her post was a comment which she is free to make. I gave my answer to her which was, in fact, the same one that many others did afterwards. This, angldior, should tell you that my motivation is not to contradict you. Therefore, if my motivation is to argue, then others who rightfully responded to her question are too. I could actually report you for this, but I'm not a coward.
You are arguing with those of us trying to help.
Someone mentioned removing outdated cc and mods. Believe or not, this could be what's stopping the game from playing.
Did you know, moving files out and waiting for them to be updated, if they're the problem and reason the game won't play, saves her the trouble of uninstalling her game and putting everything back in? You know, the quicker and easier route?
But OP didn't give details so we're tossing out random ideas commonly seen when games don't work.
I bid you a good day sir, and hope you have a delightful day.
1. OP creates thread saying game is broke
2. People ask for details, arguing commences, OP never returns to thread
3.?????
4. Profit
Oh my, what a surprise. Another gratuitous accusation. No I'm not actually arguing.
Yes, I do think she would benefit from a clean reinstall. I know I have many times. She can also keep her saved household. It all depends how important her current game is to her and I'm not assuming that is what she wants to do or not. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. There is also a more polite way of asking someone to give you more information than the usual interjections that I have seen here.
I agree with you there
This was hilarious
I guess your not a "coward" but I can think of something else you are but I'll be polite and keep that to myself.
