create new family problems

<< < (2/2)

I've encountered that problem before.  Usually what triggers it is having a corrupted file or too many Sims in your SavedSims folder.  It can be found here:
MyDocuments/EAGames/TheSims2/SavedSims
This folder contains all your pre-made sims in Create-A-Family.  You should make a backup of this folder so you don't lose your favorite sims then move those files out of the game and give it a try.
    You should also delete groups.cache and cigen.package from: MyDocuments/EAGames/TheSims2.  These get corrupted easily.  The groups.cache file will be created again automatically as soon as you run the game and the cigen.package will be created again as soon as you open up Bodyshop.
     You should also run the Clean installer and get rid of duplicate files.  They'll be highlighted in pink.  http://sims2pack.modthesims2.com/
     And it never hurts to run the Sims 2 Hack Conflict Detection Utility:

You're welcome, glad I could help.  I should change my nickname to crashtestdummy...I think I've found just about every possible way to crash and fix TS2.  :angel:

h20polo80:
lol, ok how about this one, everytime one of my sims has a baby, as soon as she goes into labor the game crashes.lol

Hmm this one could get complicated.  My first thought is conflicting mods, but I'm guessing you've run the Hack Detection Utility already.  My next thought is since you've had CAS/Body Shop problems too, it could be a corrupt/incompatable file specifically related to genetics like hair, eyes and/or skintone.  Does this happen to all your pregnant sims or just a specific one?  If it's just a specific one that it happens to, you could try moving them onto a different lot.
     You can find a list of errors with details in MyDocuments/EAGames/TheSims2/logs.
