Great program! I had been having crashes lately (after being fine for several months) and when I ran this I found out two very interesting things: DEP was not excluding Sims and the Large Address Aware was turned off. Both of which had been set up properly several months ago. Thanks for the help! It can't tell me why this happened, but at least now that I know it does I can run this on a crash and see if my settings have changed again.

My cat taught me how to fetch. I throw the toy, she shows me where it landed, and I fetch it.

If you installed another expansion, DEP won't be excluding it until you tell it to. Also, when you patch your game, the large address aware bit is returned to default (which to date, is false).

CLA 2.0.0 is up. After you post your results here, remember to go to File -> "Delete all TS3 crash logs on this system" so you don't paste repeat logs in the future.

When my game crashed, I was in CAS picking a sim from the sim bin. I do have it LAA enabled. This is what the CLA generated:

I'm thinking about adding code to make CLA automatically detect Custom Content, report version numbers, and report which games are installed because even if the launcher says you are fully patched, you might not be. It is difficult to know how many crashes are due to version conflicts between expansions/stuff packs.


My driver had been malfuntioning, so I rolled it back to an older version which I believe I had no problems with. Played for two hours, everything was fine and dandy and then BAM! CTD.

I tried that FurMark program, but I have no idea what I'm to make of the results.

Two more crashes:

Those are the same crashes you posted before. Go to File -> "Delete all TS3 crash logs on this system" to clear them.

I think I spot your problem: You need more RAM (at least 1 GiB more but 2 would be preferable). You only have 2 GiB installed and The Sims 3 is capable of using all that up by itself. The moment it tries to use memory reserved to Windows, it will crash.

Well, at least that would reasonably explain the second. I'm still not sure on the first although it could be possible that it is the same cause (if, for example, you had a bunch of browsers open or something else consuming a bunch of memory).

i tend to get a lot of unexplaned crashing, this time i was only in CAS... hadn't even started playing...
i have all current expansions and a bunch of CC (too much to list) but i think once it crashed without CC... any thoughts??

My problem is that it is incredibly slow - uses a couple hours to load! Pre-ambitions ("Drømmejobben"), it started in a few seconds. When removing my .package files, it starts almost as normal, but when installing one single file (picked at random), it lags to extremes! What is wrong? Do I need to uninstall the whole thing?

Well, maybe try to remove your cache files and use as few CC as possible. When it crashed, your game seemed to have consumed already 2,56 GiB of your 3,25 GiB RAM (that's a strange amount of RAM btw) so your game is probably incredibly slow because it runs out of memory and has to write everything to the page file.

World Adventures is not current. The Patch Downloader can take care of that. That might prevent that crash from happening again.

It opens slow, most likely, because you have 378 custom content installed. Reduce the number of custom content and it will probably speed up.

2.56 is GiB free (I know, it's backwards). The closer to zero, the more likely it will crash.

There is most likley 4 GiB installed (video card or something is tying up 756 MiB of it) and the /3GB switch is enabled resulting in only 3 GiB available to The Sims 3.

World Adventures and High-End Loft Stuff are not current. The Patch Downloader can take care of that for you.

You have a lot of custom content. Any one of them could be causing crashes.

After you patch the game, in the Patch Downloader, click on "Force LAA." It will prevent this crash from happening again (at least until the game is patched again).


The BREAKPOINT ones are real interesting (breakpoints only occur in debugging mode which I don't know even how to set TS3 to debugging) but I don't have solutions for the rest of them at this time.

When you export or copy bb code, it includes all crashes. You don't need to select each one then hit export--they all generate the same thing.


The first thing to try with all crashes is to remove custom content from the game.

World Adventures is not current. The Patch Downloader can take care of that. That might prevent that crash from happening again.

It opens slow, most likely, because you have 378 custom content installed. Reduce the number of custom content and it will probably speed up.


Thank you for your reply! I will try updating WA.

Concerning the CC: I used to have several thousand pieces working perfectly fine until I installed Ambitions. I have cut down to zero, yet Create A Style continues to freeze whilst loading it, and each time I put in more than a couple .packages, the game hardly loads. As mentioned, what used to take a few seconds pre-ambitions to load, now takes a few hours! Needless to say, I don't bother playing anymore, yet I cannot see myself playing without ANY CC. Without ANY installed CC, the game runs smoothly (except Create A Style, as stated. It simply refuses to run).

OK........Thanks...I feel kinda embarassed...Anyway I have tried it.And it didn 't work.I'll try again today as long as I haven't tried since I forced the LAA.I just did it incase...Without knowing if it had a problem...I think that it doesn't crash in CAS now although it used to...I dunno...It might was a coincidence...I'll try again..Should I say that I deleted tons of cc???

No sense because you didn't have any large address aware crashes. It effectively didn't change anything.

I have a sneaking suspicion your graphics card might be to blame. The NVIDIA GeForce 9300M GS is a very weak card not suitble for 3D gaming.
