Game Needs Repaired After Playing

★ Novice

I've been having issues lately with The Sims freezing and/or crashing. That might be a hardware issue I'll be looking into soon. My issue is that I'll repair the game, play for a few hours, then the next time I play it'll crash within a few minutes. When I went to repair it again because I was running out of ideas, it had to download over 1gb of data. This has happened a few times now. Does anyone have an idea as to why, or a way for me to figure it out?

Re: Game Needs Repaired After Playing

@AstonishedPanda  Are you sure the game downloaded all the data and didn't just verify it was already there?  If the repair isn't working, as sometimes happens, it's often fixed by clearing Origin's cache and repairing one more time.

If you want someone to look over a dxdiag or some hardware logging, feel free to post.  Dxdiag:

Download hwinfo from here:

 

https://www.hwinfo.com/download/

 

You don't need to install anything if you don't want to; just choose the Portable version, unzip it, and launch it from Downloads or wherever you want.  (If you would like to install, be sure to click the green button, not the orange one.)  Restart your computer, and don't open any other apps.  Launch hwinfo, choose "sensors only," and click the icon that's a sheet of paper with a + sign to start logging.  Save the file to your desktop for easy access later.

 

Wait five minutes, then launch Sims 3 and play for 20 minutes or until it crashes.  Click the same button to end logging.  Then upload the log to a third-party free filehosting site and link it here.  Please leave it in .csv format, or if you use OneDrive to share, please compress it in .zip format instead
