For years I tried running the game on my Mac OS and it always crashed.

Overall, The Sims 3 runs much worse on windows 8, even with the latest software and driver updates. When I ran the game on windows 7 with another equally fast computer I was able to manually control my GPU's fan speed and I never had a single problem. I am quite sure the major problem is the GPU overheating. After this I have to shut down or restart.

I'm running it on Windows 8.1 through bootcamp on my mac pro and sometimes the game runs perfectly for several hours straight - but sometimes my game will freeze and it will flicker to a black screen like it's trying to quit to the desktop but then it will quickly go back to the game - it will do this every 5-10 minutes and eventually it will crash to the desktop with the game music still playing and my mouse cursor will be the Sim's UI cursor and I am not able to control my computer. I have a brand new 3.5GHz 6core processor with 12GB ram and a 1TB SSD and it still crashes for me.

I'll keep researching and update if I find anything (that's unlikely though cos I'm good at forgetting and I've tried everything). I'm sorry to anyone who has the same problem. I wish there was something I/We/They could do. I've tried everything I can think of and spent hours researching. Ever since the update (when Maxis came) its been crashing. Then once it rebooted, I went into the Sims 4 folder and deleted. I do totally agree that it is Maxis' fault. I ended up powering down my laptop and letting it restart. Also, my cousin has never had this problem and she's almost all the expansion packs ( I thought that might make a difference). I never had this problem on my windows 7 laptop. I am wondering if it is because of windows 8 though. It never used to do this but its been the same on-going crashing for the past 6 months. They told me to delete some un-needed files but it didn't do anything. I save every 10 minutes but sometimes it crashes before I get to save it the first time. Other times I play for 1hr without problems and it crashes. Sometimes I get to play for less than a minute and it crashes. However, if I am wrong, I give my greatest apologies and hope everyone finds a solution to this problem. I haven't seen one person post about the DEP notifying them that the DEP closed The Sims 3. That is saying, that if it (DEP) is to stop, and close The Sims 3, then it would also notify you that it has done so.
