Access Violation Crash
Lerf:
I stopped getting the Access Violation Crashes after I took advice I found elsewhere and checked my Events Viewer/System and discovered that at the same time as about half the crashes there was a particular error that a search on Google showed was a known bug with my Catalyst Driver. I installed new driver.
I still got a CTD, but at least this one didn't give the Access violation. It gave something that yet another Google search said was something to do with C++. Later today we're supposed to go shopping for a second harddrive which I'll devote to Sims2 and at that point I'll probably have my husband do the whole remove SuckyRom thing.
If it crashes after that I'll fall on my sword and have done, I guess. ::)

I can see you thought this through carefully and dispassionately.
Lerf:
Yup.
Falling on my sword may involve doing the whole binary process CC of elimination. This is going to take a while because the usually doesn't crash until I've been playing for several hours. Not to mention the volume of CC I've got in there.
And there's also the possibility that my system is just overheating. It's July in Indiana--everything else is crashing in the heat. (I'm getting occasional crashes with Oblivion too--those may have been the graphics driver. But Oblivion doesn't obligingly give you useless logs when it crashes.)
The process of adding a HD will include blowing the dust out of the tower, checking to see if the fans are clogged and or non-functional and moving the tower so that it isn't trapped between my big clunky old monitor and the printer.
Oh, well, it gives me something important to whine about since I lost my job. (Actually I didn't lose it. I knew right where it was all the time--but it got up and left.)
Zaleth:
I used to get this myself all the time, try deleting the two cache files in my documents/sims 2 folder. Those files get corrupt a lot. I use this when I go to load the sims and it seems to get stuck never making it to the load screen. I found it also works when I get that error as well. I won't promise it will help but it might since it worked for me.
