Well seeing as how you were asking for keys earlier, I'm assuming you're not using a legit key?
It has nothing to do with your specs since it's Sims 1 and I have a similar shitty setup and I can run Sims 3 on mine...

the key is legit and so is the software.

Does this happen on your first run of the game?

Replying to #4

yes, and I have tried reinstalling it several times, and nothing works. I even ran the Sims file cop and later deleted the original directory.

There should be no problem to run it with your current specs,
Even with the lowest, Is there any error when the game crashed?

Replying to #6

nope it shows the game's title goes black then the process stops.
