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

Same here i saved right before my cat comes home from work and now it's crashing everytime they come home. It's unplayable now

My sims 2 did good for 6 hrs now it crashing

Same issue! Right after character creation.. 

Literally how do we fix it?!

If I bought the games through EA, can I still get them on Steam? Or would I have to buy it again?

On my end, it kept crashing multiple times during the Create-a-Sim. I've looked for multiple ways to troubleshoot, but nothing would work. It just kept crashing. Until I stumbled upon a Reddit thread mentioning to turn off shadows in-game. Mine were on highest resolution.  Once turned off, it worked, game stopped crashing. Even turned medium resolution shadows and game keeps going. I've played for the past 2 hours and no issues since. 👌

Yep - ridiculous I experience the exact same error and application crash right after create a family. Please fix this immediately EA!!! 

Mine just did this while I was playing on a vacation lot. The create-a-sim worked, but it's crashed twice now after placing my sim in a lot and sending her on vacation. For $60 AUD, I would have expected they worked out these bugs before hand! What is EA thinking by releasing broken games..... 

Do you know which files they were that were removed? I'm not planning to buy this on Steam

Good Find. Now to find my reddit login...
