Look I have been playing Sims 3 for years. I used norton internet security back in the day no conflicts. Now I am playing Sims 3 there is a conflict. I do not know what it is but it causes the Game to crash. EA will not fix the problem. I though for a long time it was EA they don't do good programming planning and expect the community to solve all the problems. I found out through a 3rd Party there is a conflict and the game crashes. I put the product in silent mode when running the game, but it still does not work the game crashes or gets a conflict and corrupts the game and I have to spend days installing and trouble shooting to get it to work. I would like to play the game you are welcome to monitor my computor to find the problem. I just am really sick of this issue and now I have at least some ideal what the issue is after 1 year of game crashes and other install problems. I am running windows 7 now this same issue was on the Vista operating system. EA is not going to fix the problem. I need the internet shut down while playing or I will be vurnable to attack. I don't know what can be done. I need access while playing to download game installs during game play. I need the crashes to stop. Can you guys please address the issue, because the only work around at the moment is uninstall Norton and that is not a real choice. I have an open internet connection and in the philippines that is a virus death sentence.
Thank you anyone who can help.
