Game Crashing! Please Help Me!

[Glamily]

Ok, So I have a problem with my game . I have only the base game, NL and FT installed. I have hairs from raonsims, rose sims, xm sims and mod the sims and clothes from all of them and here. I have inteen and insim. But when I try to load the actual game it doesn't wanna. It gets half way through the loading screen, you know where the words scroll along the bottom? That one, then the screen, goes black and closes. Can someone please help me. If you need any technical things, you'll have to tell me excatly where to find them. I have Windows XP, and no other games installed. Please help.

Edit:

brat1083 recently told me where to find the right things. I think these are them: Genuine Intel(R)CPU   2140 @1.60GHz   1.80GHz, 1.00GB of RAM.. I hope this is right and it helps you help me.. please please please help me!

First thing to try:

Open My Documents--EA Games--The Sims 2 folder.

Inside you'll see a file named groups.cache.

Delete that file. (Perfectly safe -- the game will auto-generate a new one).

If any of the following files happen to be there as well, delete them as well:

cigen.package
accessory.cache

Then see if the game launches and runs for you.

If yes, then just delete those files from time to time (in my own case, I always delete them every time before launching the game). Those files do get bloated and or corrupted easily, and having the game generate new ones is a Good Thing.

If no, then you have some custom content which is incompatible with your configuration or in conflict with each other and will have to isolate and remoive that custom content.

See here about that:
