Is my PC old? Game crashes every time.

[ Edited ]
★ Novice

Please help. Every time I play my game will eventually crash. It never fails.On a good day I can play for about 2 hours before it goes down. It's random when it crashes, but it seems most likely to happen when I'm in "Neighborhood Edit" mode. I have all expansions, Nrass Traveler mod, and some CC. Mostly from the Sims store. I'm trying to figure out if it's my PC or perhaps the cc. (Note: The game has been crashing long before I got the Traveler mod.) I'm wondering if perhaps I need 1 more GB of RAM? One more is all my PC can take. Frown

Yes, your PC is a bit old, especially if you have all EPs.

 

1 GB of RAM more won't help cause you only have a 32 bit operating system that can't use more then 2 GB of the RAM you have anyways.

 

If you can afford, I would look into something new.

Good Luck
