    I think I know why it's crashing. The game is still affected by safe disc, and when the original disc isn't there it crashes. Just a thought but idk

  • lhyues15za91  When does the game crash?  Any context would be helpful.

    Please also provide a dxdiag.  Click Windows key-R, enter dxdiag in the run box, wait for the scan to finish, click "Save all information," and save the file to your desktop.  From there, you can attach it to a reply using the paper clip (Attachment) icon included with the other formatting buttons.

    I had the same issue. I just waited 2 weeks after speaking to the EA team, and the issue fixed it self. I still could not play the game for 2 weeks tho, even tho I bought it. I asked EA for compensation but it is like speaking to a wall. Is it really acceptable to treat a custumer that way?

    Hi lhyues15za91 ,

    I saw this fix over on the Steam community forums and it seems to work for most people whose game is crashing:

    Originally posted by TypoKun:
    1. Go to where you installed the game. If you don't know for certain, right click your game on steam, go to local files, then click on browse.
    2. Copy the folders :
    UserData
    UserData2
    UserData3
    UserData4
    UserData5
    UserData6
    Userdata7
    UserData8
    3. go to C: > Users > YOUR USERNAME> saved games > Electronic Arts > The Sims 25
    4. Paste the folders in here.

    Hope it works for you!
