As far as I know, Error Code 12 is caused by insufficiently RAM. The game apparently uses a lot more of it while saving. If you had 8 gigs like me, you wouldn't have this problem (ePeen waving, I know). You've got stellar specs on your machine; I'm really quite surprised you haven't got more RAM. As for issue #1, try getting an even more expensive bed costing at least $2800. The cheaper ones are still considered Kewian-based.
3 GB of RAM should be sufficient for the Puddings Funtime With Vampires Edition, though.

1. For one, it is extremely difficult to make my Sim happy. She may have a bunch of positive moodlets, such as great sleep, nicely decorated, clean clothing, having a blast, sometimes even all at once, and yet her mood is very red making her "miserable". I might have one or no negative moodlets at all but her mood still plummets. Now her job performance would not go up, she does not want to clean, and neither would she practice her skills.
Hopefully my first post will be a helpful one.
I have found, through t/e, that any hairs by Peggy have this effect of some of my sims. I have only used the ones converted by Anubis that I got from MTS, but every time I add 1 to my mods folder, at least 1 usually happy, fulfilled sim's mood plummets into red and nothing raises it. It doesn't effect every sim on the lot and I'm not enamored of any of those hairs to try and figured out why it is happening. I just pull them and all my sims go back to normal.
Check and see if you have any of these hair packages and get rid of them ASAP>

Thanks for the replies everyone.

Yeah, I read about the RAM issue when I googled it. But surely 3GB would be enough, right? I mean, according to MTS2, I only need 2GB to have a comfortable gaming experience. The thing with buying more RAM is that it would also require that I buy Windows 7 64-bit as well as something to back up all my files to when I make the switch. I'm planning on upgrading my memory but its not going to be anytime soon, that's for sure.
I'll try to get the ridiculously expensive beds the next time I open up the game. I would have to use cheats but its completely warranted in this case.

Well, I was playing a completely vanilla game so the hair packages were definitely not the problem.

On XP, 2 gigs is enough. On W7, you do need at least 3, which you have. If Error 12 isn't too much of a problem for you, you shouldn't worry too much about getting additional RAM.

That really depends on what else is running in your system and eating up RAM. With 3 GB you're going to lose a fair bit in just the OS operations, then if you're running an anti-virus, that eats some more, plus the myriad of other stuff that gets loaded and runs in the background everytime you start the computer. Some of these background tasks are not necessary to have start everytime, but they automatically set that way with the installer. By not having them running usually just means that particular program may take a couple of extra seconds to open when you go to launch it.
I have 12 GB RAM installed and the little monitor that is running is showing current usage at a little under 3GB RAM, give or take a little bit as it fluctuates, and depending on how accurate it is. That is without TS3 running, with the game running I have seen it jump to over 4 GB, even nudge 5 GB usage at times. I am running Windows 7 64-Bit Professional edition, and if I go and kill some background tasks and alter the start-up menu, I can get the regular usage down to 2.5 GB or lower, something I need to do after updating some programs which have reset their background tasks to start everytime again.
It might be beneficial to shut down as many background tasks as possible when playing, if you're disconnected from the internet, you can shut down any anti-virus program that is running.

If you are going to make bullets, such as putting 1. at the start of a sentence/paragraph, it is rather ridiculous to then write "For one" next to it, we already know it is point 1 because you put the number there. Try searching a little, this problem has been discussed at length elsewhere with a number of possible problems. I don't remember what was ultimately discussed as I don't have that problem so didn't pay that much attention, but it is there somewhere and might be more helpful.

Just to check, did you remove ALL of your mods and CC when you tried a vanilla game or did you leave some behind?
