OKAY THERE ARE SOME THINGS YOU CAN TRY TO GET IT TO WORK! DO NOT FEAR.
First of all, check to make sure your computer satisfies the requirements (that was my problem when I first bought my game because I was like "OMG SIMS YAY :D" and didn't give a flying fig about whether my computer could handle it or not). You can just google that.
I'm guessing you only have The Sims 3 and no other expansion packs installed? That really makes a difference.
Oh, my computer can handle the Sims 3 80x over if it wanted to; this is a brand spanking new computer. I've had it since May.
And no, I don't have any expansion packs.
I've updated all my computer system things my Windows Live Updater has told me to and re booted everything about three times. It still will let me create-a-sim and then crash once I load them into a house.
Make sure the game itself is updated, too. If your game isn't updated, it literally can't work. When you open the launcher, in the bottom left, I believe, it should say "updates."
A lot of people had the crashing problem (and still do), and a lot of the time it's Windows. It basically sees The Sims 3 as "bad memory", but it's not BAD. It's just a lot, and our computer's are like "WOAH HOLY SHIT THIS IS A LOT OF MEMORY, IT CAN'T BE GOOD!"
But it is.
So, follow that tutorial and see if it helps. I helped one of my friends do it and she said her game stopped crashing, too. I wish I'd found it sooner, because I lost a game I was two generations into, but now that I know it works, I'm letting everyone know.
Just make sure about this: But my memory is good. Further research led me to DEP (Microsoft's Data execution prevention). DON'T TURN IT OFF! I did this and big mistake!!! Go into the setting and turn it on for all programs except the ones that you can add to the list and add TS3.EXE to it. If you get

Oh, it's updated. I updated it and it still crashed. So I completed uninstalled the game from my computer and updated it again. Still crashed.
The .exe file is in my DEP exclusion list. I add the TS3W.exe file to it and maybe that'll make the difference, but if it crashes again, I have no idea any more.
Okay, because I am not equipped to handle crashing problems, I asked my simblr friends (who are all amazing at this kind of thing), detailing your problem from what I know, and they gave me a few recommendations for you! Namely, a "solution" and a "technique" you can try. They're here, here, and the simblr FAQ, which is never a bad place to look for answers, which is here!
I hope this can help, bb, and you'll have to let me know if it does! :) We need to get you simming!
Every time I load it, I can create a Sim and then the minute I go to move them into a house, GAME CRASHES.

If it STILL crashes, try this.

It worked fine prior to this.
