"Sims 3 has stopped working"

[funera22]

I need help. Everytime I load my Sims 3 game, right when I can start playing, the game stops working within about 2 minutes or less. A tab will pop up saying"Sims 3 has stopped working

             Windows will close the program and notify you if any solutions are available"

 It happens everytime. I don't know what to do please help me :D

I have same problem, since the last patch. Every time I am logged onto my online account (doesn't seem to crash when offline). I've tried every single thing on the list including more, even uninstalling, running ccleaner and such, reinstalling, patching, starting new neighborhoods, redownloading store items, making sure there's no custom content - all this in vain.

I guess my advise would be for the developers to take a look at patch 1.67 or maybe even 1.66 or something as this problem seems widespread, yet people think it's their graphic cards or such.
