Have yo gotten a sim from MTS2/3? if so remove it. There are some over there that are posting sims with Items bought in the store. And if you don't have that item it causes a crash...

i had some downloads from there like
 
no mosaic-rick
ts3 skin replacements-hystericalparoxysm

but no sims and i deleted both of these and it still crashed 

any other solutions??
thanx in advance

My game was doing this until I got a new video card and RAM.

mine wasn't doing it then all of a sudden yesterday it started doing it. looked for info at the sims 3 forums. I updated my video drivers not sure if it needed it the hubby takes care of that stuff and it had something about making sure your game resolution was the same as your desktops mine for some reason wasn't.. it works again...

Cool was worried there only thing I have seen with the CAS crashes was intalling a sim or house that had an item you dont have yet. Thats why I only use the downloader for that. It wont install sim3packs if you don't have the item.
