For this dress, you will need BlooM's first RenGal multi-alpha mesh.

This dress features a heart shaped cut-out on the back, with a heart jewel dangling from the zipper in back. It will show up in everyday, and formal.

Must have it!!! Just adorable SkeleBear, thank you!

Knock on wood, but I think the problem is solved. At least I played for over 3 hours this morning with no crash. I cleaned out cookies and temp files, and ran scans. Drivers and DirectX were both already updated. And I shut down everything in the background before playing.

I know I still need to weed out some downloads though. Lots of stuff in there I don't use much anymore.

Thanks you guys! Oh, and Joy-I was going to write down the specs to post, but I forgot. But yes, I am using XP.

Thank you very much! The drivers were updated within the last couple of weeks I think. (my husband does all the tech stuff lol) Not sure about DirectX though. I'll ask.
Thanks for the explanation for the CPU too. I was looking at the tast manager, and couldn't find what you were talking about.:lol: Now I know exactly how to find it.

With any luck I'll be playing tonight. And I'm going to make a note to remember to put anything new in that subfolder for a while just in case.

My husband did mention last night that maybe he needed to make sure the drivers were hooked back up right. He did some messing around a few days ago in there, and he ended up having to go back in and redo my audio. So I'll check the first two out. The third, I'm not too sure I understand. But I think he put a second hard drive in there, so maybe it has something to do with that too.

Thank you very much for the suggestions Trepie22!

Me2, I did download some new things yesterday, and I am kicking myself for not putting them in a subfolder named "new" that I have for just that purpose. I think I got at least most of them removed for now though. They were all furnishings. And yes, I have the patch installed. Thanks!

I don't mind if I have to reinstall, but I'm hoping not to.

My game has crashed three times today. I very recently installed AL, but I've been playing it for about a week with very few problems. All three times it has crashed today, it was while I was decorating. Twice on one lot, and another time on a separate lot-all in the same 'hood that I've been playing for a while now.

There are matching exception codes on each of the three logs.

Exception code: 0xC0000005 (-1073741819) ACCESS_VIOLATION.

Exception module:  C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2 Apartment Life\TSBin\Sims2EP8.exe.
Exception address: 0x006aceff. Section:Offset: 0x01:0x002abeff.

The message I get is the "the application has crashed, and will now terminate"

PLEASE help, I'm so incredibly frustrated I could scream.
