Loading problem with Sims 2?

Sims 3 Crashing Problem?

• I've had Sims 3 for a while now. I've had the expansion packs, Ambitions, High End Loft, and World Adventures downloaded without a problem. However, lately the graphics come out more pixelated than usual. I thought it had something to do with not enough "storage" or "memory" on my computer (I know nothing of computers), but the problem just started randomly. And now I can't even play the game: 1) I choose the town/family I want 2) Then half way through loading, the screen turns black and a pop up says "Sims 3 has stopped working. Windows is checking for a solution." Of course, it never finds the solution. I don't have a Sims 3 forums account (all the codes from the expansion packs belong to my friend), so I can't post a question there. If you need any more information, just tell me what you need to know and I'll update my question, so check back to see any new details. Thank you! P.S. And yes, I've consulted Google.

• Answer:

  It could be mods if you have any. If you've uninstalled all or any expansions the registry wasn't cleared properly. Or your OS/drivers need to be updated. If it's none of these, add all (exe's) of your expansions and the base to the DEP.
