Ever since the most recent patch, I've been getting weird bugs and freezes in my Dreamer Legacy file. I solved it by referring to a previous save. All the other files were fine. Now, after installing Showtime, it's back but in every single file I have. I can be playing just fine for a few minutes, and then the game freezes up apart from the plumbobs still spinning, Zs moving over a sleeping sim's head, workout machines still running if a sim is working out.. But everything else is frozen and my fps remains the same number it was before the freezing occurred (usually between 15 and 20). I can wait a few minutes and the freezing will sometimes go back to normal, but about a minute later it will happen again, followed by my screen whitening out and giving me a pop up telling me that Sims 3 has stopped working and that I can either look online to find a solution or just close down the game. Either way, my game has to end. It's affecting every file, two in Sunset Valley, one in Hidden Springs, and one in Bridgeport. I started a new game in Sunset Valley and it is still happening, though it takes about an hour of play to happen in a brand new file. I tried a factory reset and it still happens.
Mods don't seem to help either - I use up-to-date Overwatch and ErrorTrap in my Sunset Valley files (My legacy and a just-for-fun file) but they act no different to the unmodded dynasties.
I have no idea what it could be, because everything is up to date and my laptop is only a month old and can run the game fine. The specs are: a 2.2ghz Intel core Processor, Intel HD graphics card, 4 GB Memory and 500 GB in the hard dive. That shouldn't cause all this, should it? I did the DEP thing as well so it wouldn't crash the game and it makes no difference. I'm really regretting installing Showtime now.
