Blue screen while building and decorating

[Carida]

Greetings,

And yup, that's basically what's going on every time I try to build a building or decorate on an already exsisting lot. After a certain amount of time my game goes blue screen and crashes. I was trying to make a school and hospital for a story of mine and boom, crashed. Its getting to the point that I don't even want to bother trying to decorate at all.

*sighs*


Anyone know what might be the issue? I searched through the forum and I wasn't able to find something that related to my issue. So if there is something already answered relating to this, I apologize for posting it yet again.


Any help would be most appreciated, my thanks.

Have you tried updating your video drivers?

[Carida]

Yes, everything is fully updated.

Then it's likely your problem is related to your memory. How much ram do you have? It may not be enough.

It usually happens after about 5 to 10 minuets of decorating, I save in between because I know about its habit of crashing, sometimes its easier if I go to live mode and just play for a while and then come back and decorate a little bit more, then play then.. etc. But if I keep that up, it eventually crashes anyway.

Ok I went to look, took me a moment to find where that information is and I've .99 GB of Ram

And I always shut down all background running programs like it recommends on the back of the game.

Carida, do you have an Nvidia graphic card? If so there is a new beta driver out that may help. See this thread here . It lists which cards this may help. The final version is to be released this week if you want to wait for that. I had this problem for so long and thought I fixed it but my crashing began again. It hasn't happened since I installed this. (I hope I haven't spoken too soon about my card.) *worried look*
