My sims 2 also crashes but at random points. I could be playing it for 2mins to 20mins but eventually it crashes nd ive tried running it on different service packs but still the same. My only guess is that it dont work on windows 8.1 properly but seeing as the majority have windows 8, you think this would never of been a problem. Why bring out a game for free that you clearly didnt bother checking if it worked on all windows haha EA have pissed people off. Not made them happy haha

This seemed to fix my game played it now for about 4 hours without a crash, i think it was basically the game not recognising my graphics card.
