More Awesome Than You!

I installed the beautiful 'Elsewhere' hood by plasticbox, created a sim and moved it into a lot, then started making townies with the gun. As soon as I switched to downtownies and tried spawning, the game crashed: ' application has crashed and will now be terminated'. How bad is it? I checked the logs and the game gave me a sims2exception file, which I don't know if it's useful or not, but it's attached anyway.

Question is, is it a VBT or is there some other error in the works? I've had some random crashes lately, that I've not been able to track the source of (I'm starting to wonder if the amount of downloads the memory has to handle borks the game and crashes it). (I have 2 gb memory, and about 2.30 gb of downloads)

I did this exact same thing with that hood earlier in the week. It does get very laggy when using the gun (to the point can't move) but I have 1.79 gb of downloads and 1gb of ram it never crashed. Just took long enough and felt like everything froze. I close all background applications when batch creating townies. So I want to say the amount of downloads you have is ok for having that much ram (you meant 2gb of ram right?), do you have a good amount of HD space though?

Edit
Try this test a new hood with notownieregen in:
Make a cas sim, move to blank lot, use townie gun. With nothing on the lot and just one sim, does your client crash?

You did actually create a Downtown first, didn't you?

Death to Emma!

Ha! It would pretty funny if had forgot that. How bad would that be, bfbvfs bad?  :D


I guess it's simply one of those random crashes. So it's bad...something, ram or hard drive.

Trying to create downtownies without a downtown has no adverse effects on the neighborhood, although the downtownies won't DO anything, either, since downtownies only appear downtown.
