Crash to desktop
kuronue:
Probably the fact that you patched your game?
gethane:
Nvidia finally updated my laptop vid card driver and I haven't CTD since. I hope that fixes it for me.

Don't know if his helps anyone, but I was crashing right as the first loading screen finished. Tried everything in this thread (and a number of others) and nothing worked...then I realized I had a tad of confusion that might be affecting others who find this thread.
On the http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,15185.0.html page, there are two versions, "1.7.9/1.7.11/2.2.8 VERSION" and "1.8/2.3 TEST VERSION." These version numbers are not (as I had previously thought) the version numbers of awesomemod. They are the version of the Sims 3 game (I never noticed or cared what version of Sims I was running before). So, possibly check the TS3 launcher and in the bottom corner of it, it says which version of the Sims is installed and download the appropriate awesomemod version. (After all, why would anyone give a single download 3 different version numbers?)

I run this game on 1GB DDR1 ram, with high settings. I don't think RAM is really the issue it's been made out to be, especially since the game takes up about 500MB of RAM and 500MB of virtual RAM. As a general rule, after you've already patched TS3, checked your framework and updated to most recent awesomemod, I would look to your graphics card (make sure it's drivers are up to date, and that it is not overheating), make sure that no other application is running (TS3 will ctd for me if any other application steals screen focus for too long or too often), and avoid custom content from less-than reputable sources like the plague. I like my CC, but keep in mind that with every patch, some of it gets broken. My game was notoriously crash-prone for quite a while, before I tracked the error down to a custom hairstyle. The hairstyle had worked perfectly up until the patch.

See, this is happening to you because all you have is 1 GB of RAM. With Windoze taking up half your RAM, that means you ONLY have 500 MBs of RAMs free, which is why the rest winds up in swap. And your performance will suck as a result.
