Error codes 12 and 13 along with crashing.
ll:
I was getting the error code 12 all the time, and it was driving me (more ::)) insane. I found a threat dealing with this issue on the sims 3 forum ( :o yeah, I know) and decided to give it a go... lo and behold, it worked.
I think I have finally fixed it, I have been been playing for the last two days without any problems.
I followed sidfu's suggestion (http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/285/79541.page) and:
1. Upgraded my nvidia driver to version 191.07
2. Used the CFF Explorer to allow more than 2GB
3. Decided to ignore the Sime 3 Launcher and start the game directly from the EP exe file.
Everything's running fine now, even with most settings set to high. I can see my neighborhood's trees again!
Hope this helps someone maintain their sanity, just remember the three magical words: backup, backup, backup.

amazone: I HAVE noticed that the e12s seem to be minimized in frequency when you merge your .packages to the smallest number possible. I haven't dedicated enough test-time to this to be confident it isn't just happenstance, but it does appear to carry some sort of weight. Down from four 12s to zero in my game. (Fresh file, not the fubar'd one. )

2. Used the CFF Explorer to allow more than 2GB
My E12 and E13's have completely gone away, for several weeks now when I used to get them almost once an hour. I couldn't explain how or why, but they went away on two completely different computers with completely different configurations.
I had completely forgotten that I had done anything to my computers, so it was a mystery why the problem cleared up. However, your post reminded me that I did do the part quoted above, and it coincides with the E12/E13 errors going away.
I'm not sure if the change with CFF Explorer works on 32-bit Windows, but it works wonderfully on 64-bit Windows and I highly recommend trying it.
Tangie:
I tried using CFF Explorer to increase the 2GB limit and got a message that it could not overwrite the original file. I've got Win 7 64 bit. Is this a permission issue? If so, anyone know how I can change this?
Edit: Never mind, figured that one out myself. BTW, I need to edit the WA exe and not the original exe, correct?

Correct. TS3EP01.exe. Unbelievable what a difference it makes.
