I've just installed AL today and was it was working ok (not cc) but after a while it crashed with the message "Sims 2 Apartment Life was terminated as Direct 3D returned error D3DERR-NOTAVAILABLE"

There is nothing in my game - hacks, objects no cc whatsoever.

Also there is no error log in the Sims 2 Logs folder.

It's happened three times at different stages of game play, in different hoods and with different families.

What is going on? Can anyone help : )

Hi,
My game has been working perfectly and all of a sudden every time I press play (in the Freetime play dialog box) my computer restarts.

When it boots back up it says "Windows has recovered from a serious error" :hammer:

It's not a CC problem because i have removed it all and it still won't play.

I don't think there is anything wrong with the disc because I have the Anygame Starter installed and that still works using the same configuration as my normal game.

My system specs are as follows (if this helps anyone):
Windows XP
Intel Core2 Duo
2.4 Ghz
2 GB RAM
300 GB HD (

I am currently running Sims 2 Deluxe, Uni, OFB, Pets, Seasons, BV, FT expansions and Celebration, H&M, Holiday & Teen Style Stuff packs.

I just don't know what is wrong :dontknow:, should i just reinstall???

i'm a long time sims user and have just bought a new computer and now my base game won't install, it goes through disc 1 but when i insert disc 2 it won't proceed and refuses to respond.

any and all suggestions are welcome

also is there a site when i can maybe purchase the base game and download it directly from there onto my computer - i am willing to pay for it again

I'm looking at buying a new PC and need some advice on what amount of ram, hard drive size, graphics cards etc. would give me the best possible gaming experience for my $AUD2000 budget.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
