Eh, I was wrong, it just crashed again...but that is ok. I got a new Uni EP and the same thing happens, but not with just the other two EPs. Thanks for the links, they will be very helpful. I just got a new processor - I had problems with my old one and AMD RMA'd it for me - it is in good shape. I just rebuilt my entire system, actually. New motherboard, new hard drive, and new memory. It is all set up correctly, and runs everything else really well. I am using the same video card, Nvidia fx5500 256MB, and I have 1.25gigs of RAM. I made sure all attached devices were compatible with the motherboard, have the latest drivers (Nvidia just realeased new ones on the 17th), BIOS is set up correctly...I am not overclocking anything, either. So I have no clue. I will try to figure it out, and I will let you know if I do. In the meantime, I will just change their clothes when they apply for jobs. Thanks again for your help!

I have to take back what I said about them being able to be hired by other sims. They can be, but it crashes if you try to change the wage. If a bodybuilder hires another bodybuilder, it crashes immediately upon hire. I just found this out within the last hour.

I actually had this problem before OFB...before NL, too...perhaps even before I installed Uni, though I honestly can't remember. I have had two different PC configurations, as well, and the problem occurred with both. I can't quite figure it out, and I am confused as to why I am the only one who seems to have this problem. I have been trying to figure this out for months!

Is there any other information I can give that will help? It creates a mini dump file every time it crashes, but I have no idea how to decipher the information. If that or the error log will help, I will send or attach them. I have them for my hacked game and non-hacked game.

Thanks for responding so quickly! I came to edit my post and you had already replied :tongue5:

I am going to back everything up and start with no EPs and go from there...will let you know what happens

-------------------

What do you know - one of my Uni disks is corrupt. I installed the base game only and had no problems. Then I thought, I knew that it was happening before NL so I decided to install it first. No problems. Then after I had 10 bodybuilders with jobs, I installed OFB. Again, no problems. Looks like I need to replace my Uni expansion. Thanks for mentioning that the EP might be the issue, while it wasn't OFB it was an EP and I would not have considered that unless you had said something. At any rate, thanks for your help, and please feel free to delete these posts since this was a unique problem not associated with the downloads. You rock!

I seem to have a problem with crashing with the bodybuilders when getting them jobs. If I start a new neighborhood, the first 4 can get jobs no problem. The 5th one crashes the game on accepting a job, via the computer or newspaper - no warning, no errors, nothing. Even if I delete one from the neighborhood, the same thing happens. It's like it permanently changes something about the neighborhood. I tested this in my hack-free game just to be sure. Now, if I change them into Maxis clothes they can get a job and then I have them plan outfit to have the bodybuilder clothing again. Since OFB, My sims who own businesses can hire them and it causes no problems, either. Do you have any idea why this happens? I did search for it and came up with nothing.

I have run the game with testing cheats to see if any errors pop up - none. I have deleted groups.cache - doesn't help.

Yeah, I made a townie that looks just like her but put her in dark glasses so I could tell them apart...makes for a nice fantasy. Too bad you can't really beat her up, huh

Thanks, these are very cool!

Thanks so much, these are great!

I was hoping for an all black suit like this. Thanks it's great!
