Why does sims 2 keep crashing?

Answer 1

My sims 2 crashesALL the time, but there's a way to make it crash less frequently.

The problem is caused probably because the sims 2 takes so much space on your hard drive, and if you play it for too long the hard drive becomes overwhelmed, and the sims 2 crashes.

To avoid it crashing, you should probably get rid of some space on your hard drive, so your sims 2 game will have space to save your familys that you make. (for a PC you do this by going to control panel then to add or remove programs. From there, get rid of unwanted things taking up your hard drive space.)

You could also try playing it less frequently. So instead of keeping it on for a long period of time, only play it for small amounts of time.

Lollyduncs' view: Yes, but it could be if she/he are downloading alot of things, if he/she is downloading lots of things, then you need to take your downloads folder out and put it on your desktop, by drag and drop, and then load your game, if it runs fine, then something in your downloads has a problem, if that happens, i reccomened deleting ALL downloads, and downloading it all again, upto the 5 downloads you downloaded before loading the game, my game crashes alot to, right now, i went into accesories, in the start menu of my comp, and system tools, disk defragmenter, this should do something and it will help your computer run faster to. Just helping. If none of that helps, then I'm sorry. :)
