Random Crash to Desktop
spaceface:
I am having a random crash to desktop and I suspect it is either hardware or Windows. I am trying various configurations of hardware at the moment, as I have just put in a new graphics card and extra RAMS.

I would believe the graphics card to be the culprit, before I would blame Windows. I had to replace one recently. I had crashes all over the place, and not just with Sims, then the card went completely haywire and gave me white screen. New card, no problems. Keep in mind, my card was defective and giving me grief all over the place. Checking driver updates and compatibility is always a good place to start.

I am running Windows 7 64-Bit, and while I have had the occasional CTD, I also had random CTD while using Vista and even with TS2 running on XP. I can go weeks without a problem, then it might happen a couple of times in one night, then not again for weeks, even months.
I tend to agree with Goddess and tngrspacecadet, I would be blaming other factors before labeling Windows 7 64-Bit as the culprit, not enough users complaining about CTD's to narrow it down yet. I could also simply be EA game instability which is simply more evident and prone to problems on certain systems.

I use Windows 7 x64 and do not experience any random crashes to desktop. I applied the latest patch for TS3 on Thursday and since then it will almost always crash to desktop if I want to save my game. No .bad file is produced and no .backup file is made; it pretends to save for about 5 seconds before disappearing without a trace. I have TS3, WA and HELS, a few mods, numerous patterns and a few custom content objects. I have checked for updates for all of these and suspect that one of these will need to be removed at least until the culprit has been updated to be compatible with the latest patch.
Windows 7 x64 is stable for the most part even when it comes to running TS3.

I'm having the crash. It happened 4 times today. I was building a lot and I zoomed out to see it and it CTD, then I went back in, built the damn thing again, zoomed out and it did it again. Thankfully I was smart enough to save frequently. The last 2 times it happened was when I was about to take pictures of the lot, so again, zooming.
I am running a Win7 x64 laptop, 8GB RAM, with a supported video card. I have WA And HELS installed, the test version of AM, and no other mods. This is the first time I have experienced this type of crash.
