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

I also just had this issue creating a family and the game crashing. Didn't even make it further to finishing making a family.  I don't understand how this wasn't tested before authorizing to re-sell the game.  I want this game, but this is unacceptable. I may have to ask for a refund.

literally exact same problem here, my cat got a promotion then my game crashed. so upset cause i hadnt saved at all. :( 

I just downloaded and spent 20 minutes making a single sim to explore and it crashed.

Yup just happened to me. Just when I thought the game was running like it should it crashes. Took me forty minutes to begin playing because of loading screens and lagging. The sims 1 game wont even start, to put a $40 dollar price tag on the bundle and for this not to work properly has me unhappy. 

I’m having the same issue and my computer is a beast. :/

Having the same error when my sim gets back from work. Hope they fix this soon. I'm not able to play that family anymore.

In Steam I verified my game files, 5 files were removed, then I was able to play without crashes. Hope this helps! 

This is also happening for me, Legacy Edition as well. Doesn't seem to be a certain action for me, just randomly.

same. hoping this is something they can fix. i want a refund at this point :(

I am also having this issue. It seems to happen randomly for me, not during a certain action or screen.
