Ending Process of The Sims 2 on Task Manager?
Salomon:
Short version: Is there any danger in killing the game in task manager as soon as it's done saving?
TLDR version: The game is taking ages to close, and hogs up resources when I click the proper quit option of the game. Actually, the longest route seems to be saving a quitting, and a shorter one is somehow going to Neighborhood view confirming that game should be saved, and then quitting. I was wondering if I could just kill the process, or if bad things would happen if I did. What's the game doing that takes so much time and RAM when told to close anyway?
J. M. Pescado:
If you kill the game from the task manager, your game will crash, causing all of your unsaved play to be lost. Other than that, no. I do that all the time. I'm a busy man. What is it doing? I have no idea, and frankly, I don't care.
Salomon:
Thanks, it seems the time saved is worth it.
Anyway, at least I found that besides wasting our time, the process saves changes made to the neighborhood (like added decorations) and game options (changes that aren't saved when one uses the save button in-game.)

Right. It took me literal years to figure out why the changes I made to the seasons of the neighborhood never stuck for me. It's because I always end via task manager.

UM, NO DUH?
For once someone has an appropriate avatar. Facepalm indeed.
