With your game crashing in CAS while making a male sim, chances are you have an incompatible mesh, either male hair or male clothing, depending on which you were trying to change when the crash occurred.
Use Windows Explorer and search your download folders for "mesh". Move them out of your game folders, then start adding them back in. Look for those that have more recent dates, they may require an EP you haven't picked up yet.
thanx....its worked!!!:-P
