Game is now crashing to desktop in live mode without a message or anything after a few seconds now. Any possible cause? Nothing except been in life mode seems to trigger it. CAS? Fine. Buy/Build? Fine. Townview? Fine. Live Mode? Crash. WTF?
It may be you need to make an exception for The Sims Late Night on the Data Execution Prevention list (DEP) if you haven't already.
This was actually discussed in an Ambitions thread somewhere, though I understand there are lots of CTD threads, so I thought mentioning it once more wouldn't hurt.
For Vista, this is how you add an exception:

This helped with my live-mode problems for the past two EP's. You'll have to make an exception for every SimsEP## application that you install in order to prevent the CTD in live mode (from my experience.) If that does not help, I'm not sure what else will.
Perhaps someone should add this in a "What you'll probably need to do when you install new EP's and SP's" thread or something.

I read elsewhere that a buggy fire station lot was causing Bridgeport to crash for some people. I went into Edit Town, combed through the entire map and couldn't find an actual fire station lot, but I did find an odd, flat, gray lot set to "No Visitors Allowed." I deleted it, replaced it with a fire station, and suddenly Bridgeport was working for me.
I read at MTS that the error is caused when EA method of placing the Ambitions lots in Bridgeport, but it was not successful because the game tried placing those Ambitions lots on spaces that is too small for them. So for you, jeromycraig, it's the fire station that was not successful, and for me it was the salon and junkyard. Others had problems with any one or combination of Ambitions lots. EA should have allowed the player to place their own Ambitions lots.

Patch 2.12 killed CAW for me. Whenever I try to open it, it displays the "game data was not found" window.
Anyone else have this problem?
ElectricSimmer:
Download new CAW.

Can someone upload "S3Launcher.exe" file (only a couple KB in RAR) from the latest HELS patch 3.8.6 please? I would want to try this first with the HELS incremental patch, before I download the HELS fulll patch. Thank you.
