Can someone help me?
After 15 minutes I get an error: missing D3DERR.
Then the game closes itself.
I tried too find out what it can be but I am not so handy with this.

The message did come back but after an hour playing.
I controlled my whole system, but that is ok.
I am going to reinstall the game.

Have you a Nvidia graphic card ? With it, I had a D3Derror when suddenly the game ceased to answer and crashed (despite of reinstallation). Now I haven't such a card but I've read that there is a patch for Nvidia users with Sims 2 problems. Wink

Hi Mihura,

I have checked the Nvidia site, but I can't find a patch for Nvidia users with Sims 2 problems.
I reinstalled the whole game, but I didn't play it yet.
I will like to hear from you if you remember where you saw that message.
Thanks anyway.

Hi Consuela

It was this summer... See this news at S2C : http://www.sims2community.com/2007/07/11/nvidia-driver-update

A blog by MaxoidSam : http://bbs.thesims2.ea.com/community/bbs/messages.php?threadID=06c442234ffa7adb4557aaac3804ab89&directoryID=21&startRow=1&openItemID=item.21,item.61,item.41,item.127,item.23#0f96f0db5a9a764180a58842a7683dea

But this update don't fix laptops apparently. I hope you can get a more stable game in future. Smiley

I hope Euromutt. I know how it can be hard to have these crashes without any apparent reason. Good luck. Smiley

I went to the sims2 homepage and search for the error.
They have an answer......
They say I have a Pirated copy of EA software.........
Sounds dumb, because I bought it in the same shop that I bought the rest of my sim games.
