Crashes When I Try Visiting A Lot
I launched the game, created a family, and loaded into the house with no issues. I went to visit another lot, and as soon as the lot loaded in, the game force closed.

falonrayne Which game (1 or 2), and which lot did you start on, and which lot did you visit? Does this happen with all lots you try to visit, or only the one, and does visiting that one cause a crash every time?
I'm having the same problem. I jumped down the magic hole and the game crashed.
this is what happened to me also
It's Sims 1, let me load back in and see the lot names.
Okay I went back in. My home lot is 57 Ingleside Drive, and the lot I’m traveling to is 96 Calamity Forest. I went back to the same location through the magic hole, it was very laggy and eventually crashed again. I loaded back in and decided to try the phone to visit a lot Downtown and it seems to be working fine with no crashes. Maybe it’s an issue with either Magic Town or that specific lot in Magic Town.
Edited to add: It crashed when I was going back home from the community lot.

Here is the DxDiag
falonrayne Thanks, and I don't see anything problematic there. I would suggest though that you restart your computer after each crash in case there's an issue with background processes eating too much RAM. You can always check in the Task Manager, and I would try to keep non-Sims use at or below 4 GB. If it's higher, a restart should fix it. If not, see what you can disable in the Task Manager's Startup section.
If and when more people reply with their dxdiags, I'll look for any patterns to the hardware or drivers.
Game was crashing randomly occasionally. Maybe once or twice an hour under seemingly randomly different situations- I couldn't find any commonality. It slowly started increasing in frequency until the sim I was mainly playing crashes out straight to desktop 10 seconds after loading his his lot.
Other sims still work fine, although I haven't tried evicting him and seeing if he functions in another lot, but I have evicted and then moved him back into the same lot.
Very frustrating. Here is the file you requested.
