I bet you're playing the sims in full-screen mode. It may be your screensaver trying to do his job, and having to go to non-full-screen mode and when that happens, your game crashes.
check your screensaver settings. deactivated and play the sims again to check if the error still happens. another thing that could be is another software that do a check up every 10-15 mnutes, example, an antivirus checking your most important files, a spyware sending your private info to a guy, or a program that you have looking for updates on the web.
hope this help. best regards!
