Diva1108, I've d/l'ed countless things (including those) from Sims 2 Play without any troubles ~ some great things to be found there. Are you sure it's those files causing your crash? Can you post an error message to maybe help us to help you?

Have you tried pulling the files out of your d/l's folder, or used Clean Installer to render them useless? Try that to see if your game goes back to normal... let us know, please.

If they are based on meshes that you don't have, it certainly can cause a crash, but usually they just don't show up.

i love their furniture and would hate to delete anything but it loads halfway on the The Sims 2 Nightlife Screen and then it say "The Sims 2 Nightlife Has Crashed, the program will now terminate." And I dont have any new hacks or houses.

What expansions do you have?

I understand you're anxious to see an answer to your problem, but you need to be patient and not bump your post. People are busy and not everyone who has the technical knowledge to help you is on at the same time you are.

Now, your problem. I find a lot of times people don't mention eps because they don't know they'll cause a problem. Even if you make an item cloned from a base game item, having one of the later eps will make it difficult for people without those eps to use it. I would take the item out of your downloads file, and if the game runs fine, then chances are you need an ep you don't have.

This could also be due to a driver issue for your video card(s). Make sure you have the latest release available. Old/faulty drivers are notorious for the dreaded "Blue Screen of Death"!! Lots of options ~ the more info you give, the more people may be able to help you. Sims 2 Play doesn't let you know what item has been made with which EP, it might be best to pull them & stick with downloading from sites (or creators) that let you know which ones they use.

Are you up to date on patches for your game(s) from EA? Might be as simple as that. Good luck & keep us posted.

I have everything except Happy Holiday Stuff installed, BTW...
