Hello. I have a problem with my Sims 2. I cannot create new Sims. Either it freezes up in the CAS portion or when I finalize a Sim and try to save it to the game. It also will occasionally freeze on neighborhood screens when I'm trying to pick a family to play.
I thought the issue started after installing Apartment Life and someone suggested that I uninstall my game completely and then start fresh. I did this and the issue was unresolved. Someone else suggested that I try Bodyshop and see if the issue existed there (it does). I initially had trouble finding the Bodyshop - it doesn't come up if I just go to the Start menu, programs, EA Games, The Sims 2. I have to go find the folders and click on Bodyshop in there (yes, I used the Bodyshop from my most recent EP). I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game a couple times now with no results.
The most recent time I tried uninstall/reinstall, I decided to go one EP/Stuff pack at a time. Well, it turns out the problem isn't related exclusively to Apartment Life - it started with just the plain Sims 2. This leads me to believe that something changed in my computer before I installed Apartment Life to cause the problem. The only thing I know I changed was my RAM - I upgraded from 1.5 to 2gb. I don't think the RAM is the issue because I do not have problems with any other RAM intensive programs (image manipulation programs, etc). Can anyone think of a solution for my problem?
Thank you, JoAryn
