Am losing my fucking mind! Please halp!!!
Capitaine Marie:
My game has recently been crashing about one to two hours into play. I tried updating video and sound drivers, removing custom content I had added around the same time, using the "Clear Trash" and "Nuke..." options on the FFS Debugger -- all to no avail.
I started by removing most of my recently added custom content. I played at least two hours with no crashes; and as it had been crashing about an hour in, I thought the problem content was one of those files. So I tried narrowing those files down more. But no matter what I left out, the game kept crashing about an hour in!
Then I tried playing with *only* those files I had originally tested. The game went crazy with errors, including empty want slots.
My system *exceeds* miminum system requirements. I have all EPs/SPs. I've been playing for months with no problems -- until now.
This may be just coincidence: *Immediately* before the crashes started, I had aged up two female cousins in the household, from toddler, on the same day. (They were also conceived and born on the same day.)
Does anyone have any suggestions? I hope I explained my situation well enough; but since I feel like I'm losing my fucking mind right now, I'm not sure. Please halp!!!

Have you removed all custom content (including uninstalling things like CEP)?
Have you deleted the .cache files?
Have you renamed "The Sims 2" folder inside My Documents\EA Games? That forces the game to create a new The Sims 2 folder free from ALL custom content (including edits to any text config files).

I deleted Accessory and Groups.cache. I haven't removed all custom content; just most of the recently added stuff. I thought since it took the game an hour or more to crash, and I've been banging my head against my desk trying to narrow down the content, it might not hurt to look into other possiblities.
I did try removing more than half my custom content at one point. That's when the game went all wonky and my family's want slots emptied; so I was afraid to continue playing it that way.
I will keep trying chunks of custom content, though. You mentioned CEP: Could it have become corrupted, and do you think it could help if I reinstalled it?
nanacake:
You should make a test hood when doing the 50/50 dance. Saving the game is not an option during that time. Might want to load from a backup.
SnootCB:
It sort of sounds like a CC problem, but on the off chance it isn't: how hot does your machine typically get? I sometimes have crashing problems on very hot days due to overheating issues.
