Hi,

I recently upgraded my computer in order to play some of the newer games that are coming out. I have the sims 4 but I wish to play the sims 3 as I have spent a lot of money on expansion packs. I will be able to play for about 3 minutes then the sims will stop responding and crash. All of the graphics settings are on the lowest options and it still crashes, I have turned off v-sync in my graphics card control panel. I downloaded 'The Sims 3 Crash analyser' and it says that 'the sims is running out of memory'? I have downloaded the file that patches the LAA to no avail.

My Computer Specs:

Windows 7 service pack 1, 64 bit

8.00 Installed RAM

Processor: Intel Pentium CPU G3258 @ 3.20GHz

GPU: GeForce GTX 750

 

Thanks in advance,

Gamingfolk

Hi,

It's on the local disk drive (C: )

I don't know if it's worth adding that I do also have a second hard drive which is (D: )

Thanks In Advance

Your c drive is running a bit low on space.

 

Try just moving your doc folder to d: http://www.techsupportalert.com/content/how-move-windows-7-personal-folders-my-documents-another-dri...

Yes it does. I'm not sure what you mean by the whole part, but here's what it says 'Max Memory Used - try to reduce memory usage by lowering settings'. Also I don't know if it's worth mentioning that I have tried DEP
