Hi, I’ve been playing The Sims 2 without any problems for several months, but suddenly it started crashing. It began with the game crashing when my Sim was returning home from a community lot, and when I restarted the game, the house was no longer visible on the neighborhood map. When I tried to load the family again, the game crashed.
I switched to a new family and everything seemed fine until a Sim’s face suddenly disappeared and the game crashed again. I thought the save had become corrupted, so I chose a completely new neighborhood to play in, but it crashed immediately again.
Now the game crashes at launch. I have tried removing the Downloads folder, but it continues to crash. I have reinstalled the game twice. I am using the Sims2RPC Mod Launcher for Mansion & Garden. When I put the Downloads folder back in, the game crashes. I have tried the 50/50 method, but it seems like it corrupts the entire game, because the game continues to crash even after I remove the files again.

I'm having exactly the same problem since yesterday. I don't have any mods. Tried deleting the cache files, uninstalling and reinstalling, and repairing the game from EA app but the game keeps crashing

I've been having the same issue, glad it's not just me. Just about anything makes it crash. I was trying to look at a sim's family tree and it crashed. Switching neighborhoods makes it crash. I've tried repairing the game and restarting the app, it still crashes

This just happened with me today. My Sims face disappeared after I tried to put makeup on her and then she completely disappeared. I tried to move the Sim to college using "send sims to college" and this is what I'm looking at. Every once in a while I see a flickering green plumbob but I don't even have a panel at the bottom.
Edit to add this is Legacy edition that I've had for close to a year.

I don't know what causes invisible Sims, but FFS Lot Debugger has an option to fix them. It's been happening since the early 2000s.

I'm having the same issue. It doesn't save my changes concerning bought items, and some sims have faces missing like others say. I uninstalled and reinstalled it, but it didn't help. There were no issues previously.
