Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library error

I know myself and some other people are getting the attached runtime error. I have tried everything listed below.

  • Repairing Visual C++ files.
  • Uninstalling and Reinstalling Visual C++ files. 
  • Removing all mods and CC.
  • Uninstalling and Reinstalling the Sims 2.
  • Switching what drive I have my game installed to.
  • Deleting Sims 2 Legacy folder from Documents folder.

The error pops up when

  •  I've been playing about three household and am transitioning to a new house.
  • A new neighborhood is generating an adoption pool for the animal adoption service
  • Going through the clothing rack at a community lot (I have a lot of clothes)

So, in short, the error seems to occur when I'm using a lot of RAM. I have more than enough RAM to deal with this. But, this is when the error occurs.

    A little more detail. 
    My game was working fine until Patch 5. If anyone has a different experience please leave a reply, so they can narrow down the problem.
