Variable Crashes
mistyk:
I am not sure about it being the ram, I have 8gigs of ram and I still get occasional CTD's. If this game needs more than 8gigs of ram then there is something really wrong..

Well, I followed the instructions I found on MTS for turning off Data Execution Prevention for TS3 and I was able to run my game for like 6 hours straight without any crashing. So that seemed to fix things for me.
I was positive it was a RAM issue because my computer really doesn't get hot at all. I have 5 case fans and a heatsink/fan combo over the processor and I've done a crazy amount of monitoring my computer since getting TS3. Originally, I had my Radeon HD 4850 installed and TS3 would BSOD after just a few seconds in CAS and after lots of testing to rule out overheating, which seemed most likely, as well as other causes, I finally gave up and put my x1900 back in. Nothing in my computer ever goes above 55C and from what I've read, that's not bad.

I guess I know what Santa is getting me for Christmas heh.
I'm curious to know. My desktop runs Windows XP which can only be maxed out at 4GB of ram and that apparently isn't enough for TS3? What a mess.
XP can't use more than 3GB anyway, so anything above that is a waste.

Well, uninstalling and reinstalling fixed my CTD issues. :-\ I"m running awesomemod and the no-intro mod and all the Sims Store stuff with no issues. I have not yet replaced any custom hairs or clothes that are not from the store. So hopefully I can add my stuff in bit by bit without starting the crashes again.

XP will recognize up 3.75GB of ram so it will be faster than having just 3. It's only kind of a waste if you went out of your way to buy more. But since sticks can be bought cheaper in a dual pack, most pre-assembles came with 4gb for XP.
