Sims 3 resets config. And closes?

I've been playing The Sims 3 + all expansions at medium video config. For 5 months very well. About 2 weeks ago TS3 restarted all config. (audio, video, gameplay etc) to default everytime I start it, then lags more than the game used to, and crashes, sometimes blue screen appearing. What should I do?
(also Minecraft with mods started lagging a lot.)

You might need to upgrade whatever you're using, otherwise, try clearing up some space on your hard drive by deleting any photos, videos etc. Even try moving some files onto a USB (that's what I do)
