The CTD bugs are considered particularly problematic for users. Since they frequently display no error message, it can be very difficult to track down the source of the problem, especially if the times they occur and the actions taking place right before the CTD do not appear to have any pattern or common ground.

Some users have CTDs because of user-hardware incompatibilties: their machine only reaches the minimum requirements (and they have their [http://nene.modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=383339 settings too high]), their machine is far too powerful (fixing this requires [http://nene.modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=375907 modding the .exe] to never attempt to use more than 2gb of ram), and other less common (and more difficult to fix) hardware issues. Other's still have crashes because of incompatible mods they have installed or other user-software changes.

If you are running any mods, you should look at [http://nene.modthesims.info/wiki.php?title=Game%20Help:Sims_3_Loading_Crashes this] (excellent) help thread made on ModTheSims.com, as I will not be repeating all the tips listed on that page.
