I have a large residential lot that is crashing to the desktop every time I try to load it. I'm running the game on Windows XP Media Edition, and I have a nVidia Geforce 7900 graphics card. I have all the EP's and SP's installed. I recently cleaned out my downloads folder, and I'm thinking that the problem might be related to that, but I am unsure. None of my other lots are crashing, and the game seems to be performing fine.
I can't remember exactly what my sims were doing doing when I last left them. I do know that I married or moved in another family because they all show up on the load-screen. Four or five "dashes" will light up to show the lot is loading, and then the crash happens.
This is a very old lot that has seen alot of gameplay. I'd say that I established it two years ago. Because it's large it makes the perfect family farm. So, since Seasons was released, I have played it a lot more than many of my regular lots. The entire neighborhood is over 2 years old (I think I started it new when NL came out, so isn't that about 2 years?) And so I am concerned that this might be a sign of impending doom for the whole neighborhood. This is just my favorite lot, and so it's wearing out quicker than the other ones.
Okay, so here's where I'm looking for advice: I don't want to move the family out of the lot if I can help it, because it's such an established lot. I definately don't want to loose my neighborhood. Is there a way I can troubleshoot the lot from the outside (SimsPE maybe?) to tell me why it's crashing? I apologize if this particular question has already been asked, I did look but didn't see one this problem-specific. Thanks for any help you can give me.
