My game is crashing whenever..

This is one of those annoyingly ambiguous error codes that could mean anything from the issues already mentioned with too much RAM being utilized to bad RAM, graphic/sound drivers that need updating and even bad graphic cards or sound cards. It can even be caused with errors in your Antivirus program and the Sims games are notorious for conflicting with antivirus. As BlooM mentioned above me, this can also be caused by running your game with the wrong disk.
I've seen this problem caused by all of the above issues.
If you have recently updated your graphic drivers and are seeing this issue since then, try rolling them back. If you haven't, then try updating your drivers. It wouldn't hurt to try running your game with you Antivirus disabled.
What OS/service pack are you running? This might be helpful too and could open up a few more possible solutions.

I am running the right disk, the latest EP. If I had the wrong one the game wouldn't even start without telling me I think.
it's just soo weird because I mean when I first got this computer I had well over 100k files, messy and probably all sorts of crap in there yet I had NO issue with crashing or anything like that. Never had it crash once on me, and I was the type to DL tons of mods and junk. Yet it worked fine. I didnt even know what a patch was (like for the game lol).
Yet after I had some issues with another program and had to reformat my PC I am now having issues with the game..and I dont know why.
I don't think I have updated my graphics drivers, I don't even know what that is. And I wouldn't know how to.
And I don't think I can disable norton, it just sorta automatically runs. Unless you mean uninstall it o.0
And I don't know what an OS is...?? do you mean what kind of PC do I have?? I have a gateway, and use vista.
caffeinated.joy:
OS is your operating system. :)
What graphic card are you using?
Ancabee:
I don't know...>.> lol
I don't remember ever putting a graphics card into my computer, do they just come with computers?? if so how would I find it? ^^

Can someone help me with the MTS2 memory 3gb enabler thing?? ;_;

Hmm... crash course in computer tecchie stuff, maybe? I sure could need one... I slept through half of the building and installing of my own computer (I did not do it myself - but I was supposed to keep some attention. Instead, I curled up in the tiny chair next to my quite big bed, and was woken up when my computer-tecchie (now ex-) boyfriend was tired enough to fall asleep standing, computer nearly done ;). He's the kind of guy who builds his own computer, mostly swears to Linux, and writes his own more or less advanced scripts... He was in my class at 3D anim/design, practically the only one who knew how to write scripts... after 3 years with script writing and computer tecchie stuff at uni. Need I even say more?)
If you go to the computer store and buy a computer (like I assume you did), then everything is already built in, including the graphics card. It's usually possible to change parts, but if you don't have a clue, you'll only mess up if you do it yourself. If you have no clue what to do, then you should try to find someone who can help you, or go to some sort of computer center where they can help. Computer/electro store isn't really recommended (unless they specialize in computers), as they're more interested in selling than actually knowing what they sell.
I'm not so sure you should be doing the 3GB enabler yourself... It might help for your game, but with little to no knowledge of this type of more advanced tecchie stuff, you could do more harm than good. If you decide to do it, find someone who can show you, or who can do it for you.
I got it explained, saw it done to one file, and did the rest myself.
Norton can be turned off.
I rarely do, though. My net tends to act weird when I turn it off, and is unsecured, so I want my computer protected... I actually have both Norton and Avast running. Doubly protected :-\
And CC files comes in many sizes, anything from a few KB to several MB. 40k files can be just as hard for your computer as 100k files, if they're both 10GB in size.
High poly levels can cause memory crashes too (like mesh-detailed furniture, or peggy/coolsims/newsea hair, which are often very high in poly). Lots of new things that the game has to create thumbnails for, borked meshes or modded objects, mods and hacks... plenty of things.
