Technical problems with THE HORROR: downloading, installing, and running it

Finaly - i got all understand - its now installed - now i need is test it :)

Sims 3 is making my graphics card suffer something horrific. I've been monitoring temps since a spontaneous reboot;
I also have a HD38xx (3850, to be exact) and while neighborhood and live views run about 60-80% load on my graphics card, and ~70 degrees, menus and CAS run at 99% load and put my card into the 85+ before I shut the thing down myself before my card can explode.
I've turned all the options to minimum (which looks eyebleachingly horrible) and I've just upgraded the ATI drivers from 9.2 to 9.5 with no difference. (latest DirectX, 3GB RAM and a Quad Core CPU, if that's any effect on things)
This is silly. I'd expect it in neighborhood view where there's actually a substantial amount of things to render. CAS consists of one sim and reflection, and the menus aren't even 3D!
What comes to mind is that the menus and CAS menus are super anti aliased or otherwise filtered in order to make them look so super smooth and slick... which is murdering my card!
Neither my Playstation2 emulator and Assassins Creed manage that, and they're super intensive - the later surely must need more power than Sims 2. I can only reach the conclusion that Sims 2 coding is made of inefficient fail.
That, or it's all OpenGL, which ATI has a reputation for neglecting. Such a reputation that you should have thought of that, EA.
edit: menu's aren't even 2D? Muppet. Corrected now.

Damn, TS3 must really hate ATI's 3800 series. But I did however do alittle bit of research, the Nvidia GeForce 9600GT and the highest in the 38xx series(3870) are both comparable. ATI beat it in almost all cases, except where anti aliasing comes into play. Which absolutely made the highest card tank, while Nvidia still poofed up some pretty good numbers. This leads me to the conclusion that ATI just skipped out on optimizing for AA on these cards. Also, the OpenGL thing could be an issue...Maybe try turning down the smoothness all the way. Those temps are no good for a compy, and could completely fry your video card :).

Not sure if you're still looking for people with NVIDIA cards having problems, but...
I have a NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT card, and the game kept crashing. So I got the newest driver and the game continues to crash (the moment I get into the neighborhood view).
Khaleesi:
Alright so I got the rar'd iso, and mounted the iso, but in the /Crack folder there's no keygen. Just rld-sims3.exe and Sims3.exe. Do I need to download a separate keygen or is one of those one of them? I honestly have no clue what I'm doing, sorry.
