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

Mine crashed and killed my sim leaving secret lot on vacation.  I got big foot and he was there in neighbourhood house upon returning but my original sim died at camping ground. I had to end task to actually leave the game. It crashed in create a sim as well saying "error and terminate". My sim did save though. I tried deleting the savr files and game all together and reloading it but still having issues. Really disappointing EA.
