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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

I don't even get to make it to the main menu any more 🥲

Same here.. 😒
