Blanchflower, have you tried to follow the steps in this post at Modthesims? Maybe that would help.

OK, I followed it but my game still crashes. It is now using my dedicated NVIDIA graphics card by the way.

The problem is, whenever I ALT-TAB from my game and surf the Net, it crashes when I return to the game. The reason I want to do this is because I need to find tips and tricks for Sims 3.  This is the latest crash report:

I really do not know what is wrong and this is indeed frustrating!

I have a problem with regards to DEP. Here it says, http://simswiki.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:Data_Execution_Prevention/TS3W "As of 1.21 and newer, The Sims 3, all expansions, and all stuff packs use the same executable: TS3W.exe in The Sims 3 directory. This is the only executable that must be added to the DEP list to take care of DEP crashes."

But here it says, http://help.ea.com/sg/article/dep-settings-for-sims-3-on-vista-and-windows-7/ a different solution.

I followed the first one but the game still crashed.

Should I add all the executable EP files to DEP to make sure?

Please advise. Thanks.

[Blanchflower]

OK, I played the game again and it crashed as usual. What is unusual is that when I used the Sims 3 Crash Log Analyzer, it states, "Insufficient graphics capability- update graphics drivers, upgrade your graphics card, and/or get it checked". I am sure that my NVIDIA GTX 780M drivers are up to date because I checked with the NVIDIA Geforce Experience. It states that the driver version is 335.23. I checked the DeviceConfig file and it also states, "Intel® HD Graphics 4600 [Found: 1, Matched: 1]".

I really do not understand what is going on. It cannot be the card's fault because I just bought my laptop and other games like Rome Total War 2 and Battlefield 4 play out just fine!

Please advise! Thanks!

 

[Blanchflower]

Interesting. I have the feeling the game is sneaking back to my Intel HD. Someone please advise! Thanks!

When I played without mods, it did not crash.

There you have the solution to your crashing problem: Play Sims 3 without mods. It's much better than not playing at all, isn't it? I have never used mods or 3:d party CC, and my game very rarely crashes.

No, please let me clarify my statement. When I play without Nraas mods, the game still crashes.

Anyway, I have contacted EA support and they solved the problem for me. I just play Sims 3 in compatible mode with Windows XP SP 3 and disabled my UAC. So far after 2 hours of playing, I only had one crash. A vast improvement!

I tried the Super patch, uninstalled and reinstalled my game. But the game still crashed. When I launch the game through the launcher, it crashed after some time. However, when I launched through the shortcut, it did not crash. The reason why I dislike launching the game through the shortcut is because the game would be very dark. However, when I launch through the launcher, it is normal and bright. Please advise. Thanks.

Ok, so what shortcut are you referring to?

[Blanchflower]

I created a desktop shortcut menu for the game and launched it through there. However, the game is very dark when I do this in full screen mode.

I checked with the Sims 3 Crash Log Analyzer and it says that "Insufficient Graphics Capability..."

This shows that my game is somehow using my integrated card instead of my NVIDIA GTX 780M card.

I configured the game to use the NVIDIA GTX 780M card but to no avail.

Is there a solution for this?

 

[Blanchflower]

Apparently, I found a solution, well sort of. I set my graphics settings to default mode, making the resolution 1280 x 768. Basically, I had to tone down my graphics. I still experienced crashes but it was not as frequently as before.

Well, I had to make a compromise. Even if I didn't like toning down the graphics, as I like to test my powerful GTX 708M card, I don't have much of a choice. It is either I play or don't play the game and I will always choose the former!

I'm sorry, that's got to be very frustrating, I often have that problem too. Let us know if anything else happens. I'm sorry I couldn't be more help.
