Hey Buddy,

Let me tell you now the Sims 3 is a Very Large game as you probably know it loads the whole God Damn Village, Anyways, If its shutting down whilst loading up the Game you should, Close everything Down apart from That Game, If its in Game, Try to lower the Graphics Quality And textures.

If all else Fails you should invest in another 4gb of Ram, That will give your Rig 8gb

It would make a massive Diffrence to the speed And loading times of your PC

Let me know if you need anymore help
