It's always possible that it's a corrupt core file.
Replace Objects.package?
I don't think I've ever had the objects file cause crashing. All manner of oddities in game. Missing maxis textures or meshes, meshes that look like they went through a blender, blinking blue things, so forth so on. Haven't had crashing but it could be possible. I had recent attempted to help out someone on LJ. We had her remove the downloads, the neighborhoods, groups.cashe ....didn't think of the scrpts, it finally took reinstalling. Anyway, I find that telling people how to replace their core files without reinstalling seems to get the reaction that they feel that it is beyond them. How hard is dragging them from the cd and just unzipping? Hmm? honestly?

I can sympathize, Morriganrant. I recently saw a player on another forum begging someone to put up a file for download. It was seemingly impossible to make it clear to him that he already HAD the file. On his game cd. It ended up with him stalking out the door (in a manner of speaking) being very displeased with us.
But the sim-files, downloaded or not, are quite messy. Not a surprise, them being EAxis and all. But I just recently, when I still had my old computer to play on, had a recolor that caused all kinds of problems with the phones. All sims suddenly jumped out of action when they were instructed to place a call. They could receive them just fine, they just couldn't call.
I had to go through my whole download folder to isolate the file. Needless to say, I left the recolors till last. Needless to say, the culprit was a recolor. A recolor! Who'd have thought that. So it usually is best to suspect everything.
Hey, a new EAxis slogan: Suspect everything!

Funny, that reminds me of the time when I was told "ohno, meshes for clothing cannot cause a problem ever!" lol I think we all remember how that one turned out *nightmare*!
It's amazing how the little things can cause the game to go all wonky.

Ahhh, I remember those days. I never believed them. Lucky for me, because the first time I ever had a crashing problem, that was exactly what I narrowed it down to and three other people on LJ had the same file and the crashing.
veilchen:
You both are talking about the dress as a top mod, right? That was indeed a mess.
I still can't believe how people who warned against that mod were treated. It's definitely a great example for making people aware that even mods that are 'featured' on otherwise good sites can have major issues, and can cause major problems.
