The Sims 3 - PC crash, 10 points whoever helps?

Hi, everytime I try to create a sim or go onto a sims house, the game loads for a little while then totally crashes, and I can't do ANYTHING.

And when it's loading Sunset Valley, it takes at least half an hour to load.

What is this and how can I fix it?

Update:

My computer's alright. Is there any mods I can do in Graphics rules etc? (I did that in Sims 2, and it worked fine)

    it sounds like your computer isn't powerful enough to run the game... what are your system specs?

    You can try turning all the graphics down, making sure all shadows and reflections are off... or you can try over clocking your computer, but if you do be careful you don't overheat.

    Just remember - If your computer reaches the MINIMUM requirements to run the game.. it must be run on all the lowest settings, and even then it'll probably lag and freeze occasionally... to run the game properly it needs to be twice as good as they recommend.
