Re: Sims 2 Crashing at Startup + BodyShop

@ChrisinLiberty Have you tried taking out your current Sims 2 folder out of Documents\EA Games\ so the game could generate a completely new, vanilla folder? Perhaps there is something in the current folder that might be acting up.

If that doesn't fix anything, check that your Windows and drivers are up to date, and scan for corrupt system files (open Command Prompt as Admin, type in sfc /scannow, press Enter and wait for it to finish). If everything else fails, I can also post instructions for installing a dxvk fix.

    That helped out! It was also very convenient for me to take out any conflicting mods that made these crashes. Thank you!

    @ChrisinLiberty You're welcome! I'm glad that it works now. When downloading mods, always make sure to check creators' notes about possible issues and conflicts.
