Stop telling people to avoid patching, you fucking twit.  You're giving misinformation.

Hmm I appear to be having the same problem as Callista.  I even copied over my saves to my bf's computer which has twice the ram of mine, and a different video card just to make sure it wasn't my system and the crashes were the same.  In addition to DEP, CC removal, & clearing cache files, I tried disconnecting from the web and turning off all background tasks - to no avail.  I get up to about 4 hours playing in when I start a fresh game, then it starts crashing and becomes 'corrupt' according to the CLA.  I even tried running without awesomemod, using only twallen's nocd but it didn't seem to change anything - my backup saves continued to become corrupt at around the same point with or without cc.  TBH though I couldn't be bothered to play a fresh game without awesome bc it does take a few hours at first to recreate the corruption.  I'm finally at the point where I am going to try a fresh game, non custom world, no cc no nothing and see what happens. 
One thing I am not looking forward to is remaking all my sims and apartments and whatnot.  So, I'm wondering if sims and lots that are saved to the bin (or exported) from a corrupted save will themselves be corrupted.  I don't want to try and start fresh only to import patient zero and go through the whole frustrating process again.  Anyone have any suggestions on the most stable way to backup my lots and sims?

Not letting me edit post?  Sorry for the double.
Anyhoo did some more poking around and saw this http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,21207.0.html which suggests using twallen's porter, but my game is capable of exporting lots and sims on its own so I'll go ahead and do that.  Seems like the consensus is that the sims and lots are not the issue and that doing so will be safe.  I plan on first removing all cc from the sims and houses before exporting to avoid baggage.  This should be horribly boring and likely unfruitful, but here I go anyway...

Well, the CTD is also happening to me due to "DasmX86Dll.dll not found"
Has anybody found some kind of fix for that? Please?
Thank you

Dasmx86.dll is not why your game is crashing (read here). Try using the Crash Log Analyzer from ModTheSims.
