Crash to desktop
TyCobb:
I had the same problem as described in the OP, but with WA 2.2.8 installed.
Here's how I fixed it:
First I moved the userPresets.package from "My Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\" to a safe place (desktop).
The game then started correctly even with AM installed.
I quit the game right away and put the userPresets.package back.
I started the game again and now it worked with AM installed and all my saved patterns still there.
Also, before each restart of the game I deleted all the *cache.package files.

No, CTD is when the program completely crashes and dies. I have never heard of it randomly MINIMIZING to the desktop, unless you're accidentally pushing ALT-TAB or have dodgy third-party programs that take over your screen.
Minimizing to the desktop is exactly what my old craptastic laptop used to do, except it would do it out of the blue and not just when I was in CAS. I also did not have AVG on that machine. I suspect it had to do with video card overload, but that's just speculation on my part.

Just put AM in my game and it is consistently crashing to desktop. It will run for about 5 minutes before shutting down. I deleted the cache files and it crashed for the 6th time. Prior to reinstall of the mod, the game was running just fine. I do have exception logs, but I doubt they are of any value.
I just removed AM and am playing a hack free game and the crashing has ceased. I was so excited to get AM back in my game.

One clue though. It did it at night (ingame) and it might have been around th 1am point. This would have been the first night time period in the game since activating AM. Might have something to do with the 1am lag issue. Anyone else notice crashing around that time ingame?
Are you serious?
Try searching 1am crash. There are dozens, maybe even a hundred+ of posts now, about that very thing. It is something with the EAxian story mod and a possible conflict with AM tweaks, or other conflict. Switch to AM story mode, and the problem goes away.
I'm all for blaming EA for bugs since it's usually their fault, but not this time. I've been playing with the WA expansion since it came out. There were and have been a ton of bugs so far, but no cases of CTD on my PC. And it's not a lack of resources. I have a ton of RAM, a great processor, a top of the line video card, and a liquid coolant system.
I installed AM and the game CTD'd the first time my sims went to bed after I loaded that game.

Did this occur round-about 1am (sims time)? Because if it did, I'm gonna be over here, laughing my ass off. (Edited to add quote)
