Hi 27b05828df2c874b and icemanxman8 ,

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!

    yeah, I tried that, I didn't have a folder for Electronic Arts in my saved games folder. so I created it and made and copied and pasted 

    UserData
    UserData2
    UserData3
    UserData4
    UserData5
    UserData6
    Userdata7
    UserData8

    into a C: > Users > YOUR USERNAME> saved games > Electronic Arts > The Sims 25. but no go. still crashes.

    my map is empty so I assume it can't find that data but I don't know why.
