Basically, I've been playing TS3, and today, it's started crashing on me a few seconds after I begin playing with my sims. It's fine in build and buy mode, as well as CAS and edit Town, and all that. Just the actual gameplay won't work. It crashes to the desktop.
This happened on every step of the crashing checklist. I'm currently playing with the base game, Late Night EP, Pets EP, Generations EP, Ambitions EP, Showtime EP, Town Life SP, and High-End Loft SP. My version is 12.0.273.016001.
I haven't attempted a full uninstall, as I'm worried about my saves and stuff going with it. I have allowed everything in DEP, rebooted, but haven't attempted the CC Cleaner. Nor have I tweaked the Options.Ini file. I don't actually know what changed before this crashing - it just began to, however, after that, I installed CC and Ambitions, and the same thing still happened. The CC is removed now.
