Help! Please

Well lately my game has not been working I haven't played for months now and I just don't understand whats wrong I tried doing so many things at first I thought it could be having to much custom content because my DL folder was 21.Gb and after organizing it and compressing it, it is now 14.8 Gb. So after thinking I solved my problem I tried playing my game again and It still loads very slow and after a while in CAS it crashes I don't even get to make it to playing it crashes when Im making a sim and in bodyshop it works for a while then it says application will now terminate. Also im playing my games off of a external hard drive and i have moved "my document" folder onto there and since doing that and reinstall my games it has not worked but it has plenty of RAM it came with 298Gb but after putting every Sims 2 expansion and stuff pack on there and some other things it is 176Gb and on my main harddrive i have 17.2Gb and I have even tried to move it back onto my main hard drive but it crashes even faster on there and loads even longer...what can be the problem??? :-[

15 GB is still a lot of downloads. No wonder your game loads slowly...
My computer tends to have random crash problems when going over 20GB of downloads. And my computer is better than most. With everything in, it can take 30 min or so to load.
How much memory (RAM) do you have? With Vista (especially), the game tends to terminate when using over 2GB of memory.
And RAM usually comes in 512 mb to 4GB. The 300 GB is the harddrive, or saving space. Having lot of room on the harddrive available can be a little help, but that memory is a lot slower, and not as effective.
(to compare, I've got 545 Gb available on my harddrive, windows vista, and 4GB memory. All EP/SPs, and currently somewhere between 17 and 20 GB of downloads, since some of it is backup archives and pictures)
(Oh, and two quick forum tips: lay off the bold writing if you've got a lot of text, and use punctuation... Both makes it easier to read ;))

Ok sorry about that I had no idea and I'm not sure how much RAM I have,how can I tell? Is it the numbers under the area that says total size because if so it reads out 33.8 Gb and for my external drive it is 298Gb.
Theraven:
If you press ctrl+alt+delete, you'll get the task manager up. Under "performance", and under "physical memory (MB)" you see where it says "total". Mine says 4094 MB, which is the same as 4GB.
There, you'll also see how much memory your computer uses at all times.
If you have Vista (and possibly also Win7), you can also find it by clicking "computer", then "system properties", and find it under where it says "Memory (RAM)".
I can't remember if the XP task manager looks the same, but you'll find it the same way. It is also listed under computer properties.

Ok I did that and under total in physical Memory(K) It says {522240}
