Hey,

Having recently reinstalled the whole Sims 2 series up to Apartment Life, I'm back to having troubles again. I'm playing off the no-cd crack and have removed all SecuROM off my system. However, playing on a Nvidia Go7400 which has not provided me problems in the past, I am getting the BSOD within minutes of starting the game. I'm playing in windows mode to allow easy escape from the crashes and would love some advice or help to solve my problems!

Help?

Good news all round - removing Securom has fixed any issues I appear to have ever had with the game, and it only took 2 years for it to take hold of my laptop! Crisis averted. Many thanks for the help

Hello,

The Sims 2 has been playing up to an extent recently, but it has been manageable with a bit of boolprop useshaders false and some good old fashioned computer bashing. Today however it has turned into the demon from hell! Aside from the occasional "emulation software" error, it is crashing during the loading screen to get to neighbourhood choice screen.

After much teeth gnashing, reinstalling, patch loading etc. I have found the problem file - my saved neighbourhood file. Now what the heck do I need to do to it to get it to work again. The Sims runs fine without that folder, but crashes with it. If anyone suggests deleting all my saved simmies - I may cry. Please don't. Any help more than welcome - and feel free to abuse if needs be, especially if the cure is simple!

Thanks
xx
