that is very, very bad news, especially if you have a lot of custom content.

if it's crashing your game it means you downloaded a bad file, it could be corrupt or missing elements and it can cause your game to crash. what you need to do is either take out all of your custom content or do this:

i've had this problem before too, and this is what I had to do.

I created a folder on my desktop, it doesn't need to be named anything special.

then I would move 100 files or so from my sims 2 downloads file and put them into this newly created folder. then I would run my game and if it still crashed then I would add another 100.

eventually, you will find the file(s) that's causing the crash and you can then delete them and return all the files back into your downloads folder. it's a long and painful process

How do you use Custom Content you have downloaded from The Sims Exchange?

You can use one of two ways: Since Custom Content downloaded from The Sims Exchange is in the proper file format, you can just double-click on the file after it has been downloaded to your computer. The Sims 2 Package Installer will then pop up and allow you the option to quit or automatically install the custom content. Or: After downloading Custom Content, you must place the file in the Download folder under My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2. If there isn't a Download folder there, then you can create one. Make sure you spell it right, or it won't work. After you have done ONE of the above options, you must: Then enter the game and go to the Game Options menu under Options and choose the option to allow Custom Content to be used in the game. After that, you must restart the game. You will know which objects are Custom Content objects by the large Star icon in the bottom right hand corner of the objects' thumbnail picture in the game.
