Some help for Vista users..if you crash

[Mask316]

You may want to look at your power distribution if when shutting down the Sims 2 your system crashes. For vista 32 and 64 the default power is balanced and this has caused some issue.
To change your power settings
Control Panel
Power settings.

Mine is on high performance and since the change I have had no issue with shutting the game down and OS crashes.
Hope it helps if needed

I have had only one crash while shutting down BV with Vista. So far, Vista so good!

Thanks for the tip!

Yep it is I and I am an active Microsoft hater too

But I have to say it looks like they tired with Vista. Brings back memories of 98SE.

Hopefully you won't have an issue and if you do the power change will fix it.

We should all ask the unseen computer gods to allow are sims to run free in all Os's

mine doesn't crash when shutting down, but every once in a while during game play. I can't figure out why because it's only happening on certain lots after about a good half hour into playing.

I don't know if changing the power settings would help you. I wish I knew a bit more about computers so I could help but sadly no. If you have vista you could try it.
