The sims 2 legacy started crashing after update

I've been playing the legacy version of the sims 2 and I've been loving it! It's been working well for me and it's been so nostalgic. My game updated yesterday and since then it's been crashing when I'm in live mode. I can't play 5 minutes before it crashes. I don't quite know what happened or if I can fix it. Any thoughts or suggestions?
