Once you edit the .ini file (instructions to be found on steam) for 60 fps, better resolution of textures, better shadows, less crashes, and special edition TRUE for the first game and DLC dresses, it's great. If you don't want to bother with that, just go away and curse EA.

P.S. - always go for the arms first, otherwise you break the game and have to start from scratch (luckily, this occurs like 50 minutes in, around 4% completion, so...) - Playing with PhysX on LOW and Motion Blur off also helps. And if the issue continues, just turn Dynamic Shadows off for that one section.
