My Game is Bork, but I'm pretty sure it's not my fault.

Yeah, memory test for RAM should throw no errors at all. Have you recently added to your RAM, or replaced a stick or changed the config in any way?
Usually I run a memtest for 24 hours and expect no errors if the RAM is OK.

Haha, yeah, except for that I meant that the walls and stuff of my sims' homes could burn. Not mine! Gah, that would SUCK!!! lolz.
They left they're computers, and just screamed at the flames.
And I was responding to Yecats, not you.
I know. I was responding to both, and applying my situation to Gastfyr's, and stating how much better my situation had been. :D
Skadi:
Also AMD + SP3 = evil. Can you roll your windows back to SP2 at all?
Gastfyr:
Sorry for the confusion. It was a test of RAM, not the hardrive that came up with 700+ errors.
My husband looked up that error message as you suggested and found some forum posts where someone suggested a program called RegCure, so he decided to try that. It came up with over 1000 errors in the registry when he ran that program, and it said it fixed those errors too. Anyway, it didn't fix my problem, or at least didn't fix all the problems, sicne I just loaded up the Sims 2 and tried to do a little building (I am still working on the same freaking apt lot, since I never can get it done before some crash or other inturupts). I was actually thinking, "Wow, this seems to be letting me actually do stuff and it hasn't crashed yet," when I got a "The aplication has crashed..." :P
So anyway, my husband thinks we need to buy more ram. He seems to think more ram might fix the problem entirely. Doesn't sound like a bad idea to me, since I don't think it's possible to have "too much" RAM. lol
The weird thing is he has the exact same Sims 2 game (exact copy of the same CDs) on his computer and it never crashes. I mean, maybe once in a blue moon, but nothing either of us remembers. He has different computer specs, of course, but the same amount of RAM.

You can't just willy-nilly buy RAM. One of the reasons I asked if you'd changed your RAM configuration is because you can have mismatched RAM. Different speeds, types between RAM sticks can conflict. I suggest you take your current RAM into the shop and tell them what your motherboard is, before you purchase any more RAM. Although this is risky as a lot of salespeople don't have any idea.
In fact, you could look up the specs online for your make and model of motherboard, see what RAM it takes and how much RAM it can handle. Better to go armed with the knowledge yourselves.
RAM can also go bad, you might have to throw away your current RAM.
