Beosboxboy, if you have time could you help? :) UPDATE: RESOLVED see last post!

You could test the corrupted neighborhood theory by moving all of your neighborhoods to the desktop, then running the game. Neighborhoods will be recreated and you can play around with it a bit, then do the save. Same with possible bad CC.
I'd check both of those possibilities out before reinstalling.

I removed the suspicious neighborhood to my desktop (it was a custom neighborhood) and was able to play and save. YAY! Hopefully all is resolved. I believe the culprit was a lot I downloaded but not from here. Unfortunately it was my InSim neighborhood! Y'all are troublemakers, lol, but will now get new homes. Thanks again for all your help.

TRL I have the same problem with my game as well but I only play Pleasentview, and when my game crashed with the graphic display error it actually crashed my card. I had to reinstall it. Did you have to do the same?
trl:
Well I uninstalled one card and put my old card back on to see if it was a card issue. That is how I realized it was not due to my cards. It would happen with both cards.I don't think it crashed my card but I couldn't read any error messages but the one. I would get the black screen and then my monitor would turn off and I would turn it back on and it would turn off again.
I have only played for a bit yesterday and it seemed ok but I will see the next time I play. Which may be awhile, I have been troubleshooting for 4 days straight, I am in a contest and didn't want to drop out, but I am just plain tired of sitting for hours at my computer. I just had all sorts of goofy things going on. I would try to move a sim and they would become invisible, many strange things like that. Both the graphics cards I have are well above the min and I had never had trouble before. Very strange. if I find out anything more I will pm you. Good luck. I tell my husband that I think there is subliminal messages in the game that addicts us to it. LOL I would never keep at something as frustrating as the SIMS 2 but for some reason I just can't kick the "habit". LOL Again good luck!

When my card crashed it did the same thing, my monintor went on standby and I couldn't get it to turn back on. Do you have a lot of CC? PLay large lots? I found that my game ddaoes it morer when I play big lots with loads of CC than small Maxis lots.
