My Sims 3 keeps crashing...

[Minty]

Are you playing the game via the Launcher? If so, you want to bypass that if playing the game as it is the cause of more crashes than anything else. Every patch, every EP, same old same old.

This you can avoid by launching the game with the TS3W.exe instead.

On your shortcut on your PC to your Sims 3 game, right click & go to Properties.

Look for the part which says Target, and change the description to read:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin\TS3W.exe"

Include the quotation marks!

Apply, click OK, & try running your game again.

Let us know how you get on.
