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

I have this problem too. Every time I try to play my save family it just crashes. I just bought the game today. I hope they fix this soon. 

Edited: my game crashed every time my pet comes home from work. I also if I change settings to different graphics settings. It keeps resetting them. When you quit the game. 

Well time to restart my family. I didn't get that far with them. Now I know not to get the pet a job for now.
