I assume you're using Microsoft Vista on your computer. Also, it depends on your definition of "shut down". Is it "Sleep" mode or really a real actual "Power Off" shutdown? or "Hibernation" mode? The most probable reason is that your computer is set to "Hibernate". This normally kicks in when your computer is running on battery mode (ie, a notebook) when you're away. After x minute (depending on settings), your computer will go into hibernation; to know if you were hibernating; switch on the PC; if the computer boots up to the same exact state when you left it (ie, all the programs were still running and data available), then you were in either hibernation mode (I assume it is not in sleep mode) Click the Start button > Control Panel > Power Option > Change Plan Setting You will be able to change the way your computer behave from there. It will be good to know if your computer is still connected to the power (is your power still on?) when you're away. This affects when/if the Hibernation mode will kick in. Good luck!

What do you do if your computer shuts down while playing the sims 3?

Im afraid, if your computer does shut down when your playing then there is not a lot you can do. If you don't save your game regularly, then you will lose all of your data aswell.
