The sims 2 kept causing my pc to completely freeze when I tried launching it after I purchased it, this happened about 4 times until I found a way around it. Then finally after about an hour I was able to get into the game and immediately after creating my sim the game crashed with a message saying Application has crashed, it will now terminate... After being excited and so frustrated with trying to get the game to work I gave up.. EA needs to stop releasing games and packs that are so broken they are unusable!! I feel like I want a refund with how frustrated I am with EA, but surely hope they work on releasing patches to make sims 1 and 2 work for everyone who spend money on those games..
