Game Crash Frequently
henisacat:
Okay, well I tried using the memory improver thingy majig. Because the problem has gotten even worse. I go to the neighbourhood screen, go to create a family, and it instantly crashes. And also, after it has crashed, the usage skyrockets to around 90%. If there is ANYTHING at all I can do, please tell me. I have tried deleting some files from my downloads folder, but it doesnt do anything.

This sounds like a bad download. Try scanning with Delphy's Download Organizer from MTS.

The easiest way to determine if it's a bad download or not is to move your Downloads folder to the desktop and then try running your game. If it opens fine, then you know it's something in your downloads folder. The best way to determine what the object(s) is (are) is to use the 50/50 method outline here.

great, thanks. I'll try it.
Also, just a question,
when i remove my custom content, the houses and stuff that contain custom furniture and walls - those objects will be removed, yes? but when i put them back in, will it still be there?
And if I have houses and people. i.e .sims2package files, do i just include them with the process or exclude them?
edit: I have come across this: http://www.modthesims.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:Game_Problem which is exactly what my problem is. However, the process involves "backing up" my "user files", and then removing them etc. And I have no idea what they are, as I am only a 14 year old boy. So are there any dangers of doing this, like having my computer permanently shut down or something? And could someone please inform me as to what user files are and basically what im doing in this process?
edit edit: don't worry, after reading over the file i'm pretty sure i understand the process. as long as im not removing like my computers files, like system 32 or anything.

When you test your game without custom content, open a neighborhood you don't play in. Otherwise, what will happen is, if you open a family you play, all the custom content will be gone and either replaced with Maxis stuff or consist of blue flashing silhouettes. Then, when you put your cc back in, you'll have to go in and replace everything in the house manually. This is why it's best to open a neighborhood or family you don't play (and which has no custom content) for testing purposes.
