Crashing and Errors
DraculaBiscuits:
Well ive looked everywhere and tryed everything to solve this problem. So i finaly gave in and just uninstalled Pets. I only backed up the downloads, didnt care about saving sims or anything. I then tested playing Sims2 Deluxe with no CC at all. I ran the game (sim time: Monday morning- Thursday morning!0 Usually It would crash on Tuesday morning) So now i reinstalled pets. Going to test it out with no CC. The proceed to add my default rep0lacements, then test a feww items at a time. I wonder if its my CC thats the problem.
Well i get back to you guys and let you know my results.
EDITED:
tested my game a few hours ago only loading a small bit of my CC ( leaving out the CEP just to be sure), about 70% of CC is still out, well, after playing about 30 minutes i crashed with the same error. Im seriously giving up and just uninstalling the whole game and saying screw it. ive just had enough.

Are you sure you removed completely CEP from your computer??
Sunday at night I was really bored about it, and I decided to remove it, just in case, thinking it wouldn´t work, and it did. After removed it I played sims for 3 hours and the game never crashed!! And I also removed some downloads from my download folder, just objects which needed CEP to show up at game, but I had them before and never gave me any problem.
I don´t think pet expantion would be the problem, I have all of them, to Apartment life, and they worked fine until I installed last version of CEP.
As you see, every simple thing makes me think that CEP was 100% guilty of the problem.
I´m so sorry it didn´t work for you. I´d like to help you to solve it, but I don´t know how.
All I can do is telling you some other solutions, that people gave me in other forums.
1-Delete your accessories.cache, group.cache and cigen files. They are right inside your Sims 2 folder. The games makes new ones when you start it up. Also, you might want to try and delete your thumbnail files inside your Thumbnails Folder.
2-Update your graphic card´s drivers.
Well they gave some places to do it, but it was for my type of graphic card. I have NVIDIA Geforce 7300 SE/7200 GS.
And I also have window xp, so if you have window xp here:

If you have vista, you can do it here:

3- Trying to update directX, the program used on sims 2.
They explained me it´s not the same that graphic card drivers.
It´s a different program. Direct X is a seperate program that helps your graphics.
You can update it here:

If nothing of these help you with the problem, then remove CEP, if you still have it, and remove sims 2 with all expantions, by the right way to do it.
Install all games again, and try to play without CEP, and without downloads, and see how the game goes on without them.
If problem still continues, I don´t know what else to do.
Don´t worry, I´m sure you´re gonna find a solution.

Im positive it wasn't CEP. I only tested a few downloads in my game and i did not put CEP in. I did however put a large folder of things i recently downloaded into the Downloads folder, ill have to remove them they may be an issue i dont know yet.
All of the suggestions you mentioned have been mentioned before, ive done all of those multiple times and they have yet to help. Those same things were suggested to other people with the problem and they haven't helped them either.
Well i decided to go back to figuring this out and removing some of the CC i put in for testing, just leaving basic default replacements and items i know are ok. ill have to remove Hair because some may be to high in Polys.
Ill post back later with the results.
MaddyLou:
I don´t know what to say, I didn´t do anything else that I already told you, and my game is fine now.
I guess I´m lucky.
I also had a worm in my pc, and I removed it, but it happened when game was already working fine, so I don´t know.
I hope you can solve it.

i felt the need to bring the topic back sense i believe i have solved my problem with the error. After a few hours for reading many forums about the error and coming accross some suggestions here is what i did.
boolprop useshaders false
turn smooth edges all the way up
removed all hacks including ( insim, inteen, blue remover)
i have been running my game for 7 plus hours today and no crashing, no error. 3yay lets hope it stays this way.
