My game keeps crashing on the town loading screen. a few times i have loaded into the lunar lakes area and it has loaded and then started to show the map (with apparent missing textures) and then crashed. If i try to load an old save i had from another install in bridgeport it says basically that something has gone wrong and that i should restart, and goes back to the main menu. My system should not be an issue here as i have a 4790k @4.8 Ghz, a 980 Ti and 16 GB of RAM. I have already tried messing around with WEP, graphics settings, Administrator access, running the game off of a different hard drive, and all of the other fixes seen online. Any ideas?

EDIT got two error codes when i tried to load after remaking the documents (by renaming it to force the game to make a new one)
"The game is unable to identify your hardware." and (a separate popup that came directly after it)
"Your video card was not found in our database"

Another EDIT

It seems to be wiping out my device config file when i change it



Here is an error log i got from windows.

This is normally caused by corrupt and/or outdated mods, this can be fixed by removing all mods and Custom content. It can also be caused by a different Locale than your country was meant to have. It can also be caused by game corruption, fixed by uninstalling and re-installing the game, try "repairing" your game first by going into Origin, right-clicking The Sims 3, and clicking "Repair". Try these suggestions, and I am sorry if none work.

Okay after uninstalling (through windows not through the uninstall program that was bundled with the install) the game works. However when i load into a town there seems to be some sort of fog over the Map screen. This fog is gone if i load into the game proper but if i access the map the fog will show up again. (Attached is a screenshot)

Additionally If i allow the game write priveledges on the Deviceconfig.txt file it will delete everything there and replace it with
=== Options ===
=== Default Options ===

Any idea how i can fix this? Also Graphics options will not stick when read permissions are given to the program.

GPU is still not recognized. I am going to go through the steps found online to get it recognized by the game.
