Random Crash to Desktop
Tangie:
If you set the AM config file to allow inactive skill gains, then Supreme Commander will give inactives commands to work on skills without you manually doing it yourself.
In another custom world I was playing a few weeks ago, I only had about a half a dozen sims in it so it was a lot easier to find the problem sim. The game was freezing - running - freezing so I was able to press the pause button like you mentioned in another thread and eventually the game would unfreeze and pause, which allowed me to go to edit town to locate the problem sim. This freezing happened several times; one time it seems that a sim was stuck at a WA register even though SC was instructing the sim to skill painting. On another occasion she was just stuck in her house because she had no easel, and for whatever reason she was not going to the high school to skill painting like the sims do in the original neighborhoods. (She had a path blocked symbol above her head.)
The freezing problems I've been having lately are not off and on freezing. No amount of time will result in the game resuming, so shutting it down via task manager is the only option. But as I mentioned previously, I used the reset world command the third time I restarted, before the freezing occured, and have not had any freezing issues since. I was controlling a 3-sim house, one of whom was a toddler and another was at work, so it wasn't any of the sims under my control who had the problem. It would have taken hours to track down the problem sim when you have a full neighborhood with sims spread out all over the place.

With my freezing though it never happens at the same point twice. Once the game freezes and I restart from the last save point, the game runs as normal past the previous freeze until it hits a new freeze point.

I can second this. It so far has happened to me when a menu is about to pop up. For example, I wanted to get a career for my sim and the game froze just before the options appeared. Next, it froze when I went to the store right before the options appeared. However, if I restart the save, I can get past that same point with no issue whatsoever... until I get to the next one.

Pescado there is only one way to solve this crash problem. Can you create a program to make Windows 7 compatible to SIMS 3?

What makes you think it isn't compatible? Running Windows 7 64-bit, and apart from the odd freeze occasionally, there isn't any compatibility issue. I can go hours a day for several weeks without getting a freeze, then get a couple in a short space of time, then go weeks again without any. Doesn't sound like a compatibility issue with Windows 7 to me. I suspect it is more likely a game issue.
