Hey everyone. I hope somebody else has my problem. Here goes:
I'd installed Mansion and Garden Stuff and it was working alright. Then, when I installed Numenor's CEP Version 4 (I hadn't upgraded since a couple years ago, or something), the game seemed to freak out. I'm still not quite sure if the CEP was what did it, though, because when I uninstalled all of the CEP's components the game still freaked out.
When I started the game a blue screen (not the blue screen of death) came up and loaded forever. I've since deduced it was setting up the EA Games folder. But then once the game loads and starts, everything works really well, except when I go to build a Sim. Once I click the Build a Sim button, it begins loading and gets to the second loading bar and then crashes. The computer goes black and I have to hold down the power button to force restart it. It's terrible! I don't know what's going on. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling my entire game (I have all expansion packs so it takes a long time) but NOTHING seems to help.
If anyone has any suggestions I'd be extremely grateful.
