Patched to 1.4, sudden crashing
DMDye:
My game just froze *again*! But Pescado just put up a new version of AM, I'm going to try it and suggest you do too.

I haven't patched but I had the same problem and did extensive searching on the game booting the computer all of a sudden (I had played for several weeks with no problems and could play any other game without the computer booting). I discovered that I had Windows update loading optional updates and one of them happened to be for my video card. When I checked the Nvidia control panel Sims 3 was one of the few games listed to run only "fair" because of 2D directional movement or some such and to turn down visual effects. I tried that but no go. I also tried to turn off the advanced rendering and switching screen resolutions.
I finally read the post here about the fpslimiter so decided to check to see what my game was running by turning FPS on and found that it was hitting in the 80s and 90s consistently. I downloaded the 3booter and the fpslimiiter and rolled back my driver and my system hasn't crashed since. I have no idea what actually fixed it - it could have just been me smacking it a few times or maybe the moon was full - but maybe those are some things you can look at.
I feel your pain though. I have never had so much trouble playing a game as I have this one.

Until patch 1.4 I've never had problems with unsuspected quitting game.
Now, incl new AW and Patch 1.4 the game crashes between hours 00.01 and 00.30
And this several times.

My game started to crash too, and it never did before. Apparently, jfade's sim can't go buy groceries, HELL NO.
My "fix" is: save > Edit Town > Choose Household > select the same household > reload > save again. No idea why, but the crash goes away, at least for a while.
So far, the only crash it didn't solve was when the IndieStone driver popped up the info that Annan and Tsenatserix were married; this apparently is too much to bear for the engine. I had to make them break up, to have the crash go away.

I downloaded the latest AWmod, but now my game reacts even stranger.
One sim, who talked to the Grimreapoer knows now 2 Grimreapers !?
In an other familie I get the wrong events, opportunities in the Job,
the Militarist get events from the Science-career and the Hospital-worker get events from the Athletic-career.
Is this again a memory failure, like reported in sims2.
