Okay, I've had the Sims 3 for a while now and it's been working amazingly on my lap top. [: Anyhow, everything was working perfect I guess I should say until today.

I turned on the game and started to play my family until suddenly, the game just shut down. I thought I would get an error message or something, but nothing happened. So, I loaded the game again, started to play my family and sure enough, ten minutes later it shut down again.

I don't know why it keeps doing that. It was working just fine the night before and now all of a sudden it won't work right.

Anyone have any ideas as to why?

Usually that happens due to overheating. The game may be a bit too processor or graphics intensive for your laptop.

If you've been playing the game with the laptop on your lap or on a blanket or pillow, try moving it to a hard surface where air can reach the cooling vents (often on the bottom). You might also try suspending the laptop above the surface so more air can reach the vents.

If you're a smoker or have pets that shed, it's possible you may need to get the laptop professionally cleaned out.
