Sims 2 Legacy : 'Application has crashed, application will now terminate.'

Having the same issue, game loads fine, manged to make the game full screen, created a family in CAS, loading back into neighbourhood, and it crashed with the same message as everyone else, reloaded the game and was able to play with the family i created in CAS and afterwards no problems so far. However I did look through the files saved and mine came up with access violation, brought it through EA app, wish we could verify game files like steam
