I got the sims 2 yesterday off origin and it keeps popping up with this message box saying "This application has crashed. This application will now terminate". I've already fixed the resolution, but up until I select the thing to add a sim into the family it stops working and the message box comes up! It's so annoying and I don't know what to do. I don't have any custom content either. Only for the sims 3. Please help! ;~;

Honestly, I spent all yesterday downloading it, then went to play it and it did that and still is. I'm so frustrated gah ;~;

That sucks. . Are you running Windows 8? I have heard it can give some problems but I have also heard that they fixed it for UC. I'm sorry that I'm not much help but I hope it will become playable.

Don't be surprised if you might have to put this in the Help section on this site. This might be beyond our scope in this forum.

You might have to provide specs. Are we talking about a dedicated graphics card or an integrated card, for instance? As Rexbox369 wrote, what's your OS?

There have been a few posts from people having problems with the game. Perhaps one of them might give you a lead about what to try next.

Yeah I do have windows 8. I got frustrated and am re-installing it >~< Probably won't do much though /:

This thread might have some useful information. You might want to check it out. The thread basically suggests this method.of installing a new graphics rule file.

It may or may not work, but it's worth trying.
