Is it still my video card?? :(
PandorasSecret:
I have all the games for sims 2 and patches installed, except FFS. When I play up to seasons I have absolutely no issues... I have more than enough hard drive space (way more), I have over a gig of ram, etc etc... That is not the issue. What is, is my video card (I think). I used to run a GeForce 6600LE, and my gameing experience with the sims was horrible, I couldn't run FFS or OFB it would do weird stuff, but I recently installed a new video card, the GeForce 8600 GTS plus I have the new driver nvidia released (162.18 forceware blah blah blah). OMG IT WORKED!! I could put back in OFB, and the game played perfectly!! I was AMAZED, this is Sims 2 with everything up to seasons... Then I decided to add BV... Then it crashed 3 times... I only tried playing 3 times... SO I uninstalled it. It would run fine as long as I wasn't combining actions. In otherwords I could make a family, but if I tried to put them on a lot and build a house it would crash. I could build a house, but if I tried to play the lot it would crash... Should I wait to see it the patch would fix this issue, or should I just not bother with BV?

Do not duplicate post. If you have an issue with the game then placing your thread in the BV help section was proper. Placing here as well is inconsiderate. Someone will answer your question. Just give it time.
EDIT: Are you playing BV with your original hacks in gameplay? If so remove them and check to see which have been certified compatible with BV. Crashes are invariably related to added incompatible content.
It is possible that some of your object D/Ls are corrupt or incompatible as well. You need to do some research here in the threads and on your own.

sorry I duplicated the post... I actually posted here first then realized it was in the wrong place, I wasn't trying to be impatient...
I don't have any hacks in my game, and only a few custom content, which I did remove for some time to check if it was that... And it wasn't...
I only wanted to know whether I should even bother with BV, since it seems to not be compatable with my video card... Same as the game used to be with my older card the 6600LE.
I have researched this issue on both this forum and on the sims 2 forum, and didn't find anyone having posted who had the same video card as I did...
Sorry again

I have the same video card, and mine is crashing, too. Not right away, but I'm getting less and less play time in before the crash happens. (And I've removed all CC from my Downloads folder.) I'm wondering if it's memory. My system has tons of it, but, as I understand it, the memory allocated to the video card may be lacking. There's a way to change the setting for it, but I don't know how. I'm going to look into it.
Anyhow, I hope you find the answer to your problem!
