Sims 3 crashes when loading a family.
Slymenstra:
I was having the same problem and I did a few things and it now works. I started off with a total clean install. I noticed my games were not all properly patched. So I decided to start from scratch. Loaded the game chose a household, loaded it, unpaused and CTD.
So I then did the DEP fix and added all of my Sims 3 exes to the list. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc700810.aspx The area that is important is "Enabling the DEP Exception List"
That for me fixed it. I was able to play. I readded my CC and hacks slowly. Items that have altered scripts crashed my game so I removed them. Example was Treeag's treasure box.
I then added back my saved sims, saves and Library. All of a sudden crashing to desktop. Finally I found it was my Library that was crashing me. I did have a lot of houses, sims, and sims with houses in there.
I just totally deleted and can play just fine now.
I am not sure if that will help you, but maybe this will help someone. I spent a lot of hours trying to figure it out.
Mr Crinkles:
The Crash Error Log tells me I need 3 - 4 GiB of memory. Now, the LN box says 1 GB, and I have 2.7 GB Ram. Why would the Crash Log tell me I need more? This happens with no mods/CC of any kind installed.

If you're on XP, you're fine. On Vista or 7, you really should have another gig or so of RAM.
