Ending Process of The Sims 2 on Task Manager?

I'm pretty sure closing down with Task Manager is done, as evidenced by this very thread.
Gosh, I hope you're not ever wrong about something on The Sims messageboard. It might mean you're not smart.
You two aren't the real tech support here though, are you?

The point is that no one would think to suggest that being the problem, because it's not a normal thing to do. YOU were the only person who could possibly know you weren't shutting the game down properly. It's like asking why Word isn't prompting you to save your file when you shut down your computer, and neglect to mention that you shut down your computer by holding in the off button.

Just because other people admit to doing it doesn't make it a good idea. Yes, Pescado said he does it too. He also said he's in a hurry, doesn't know what the game is doing during the regular closing process, and doesn't care.
HomeschooledByTards:
Of course shutting it down via task manager is done. I've done it, but only when the sims (or whatever program) has stopped responding for some reason. That's what task manager is for, to allow you shut your programs down when the correct method fails. Task manager is not to be used to shut down a program on a regular basis. The fact that you don't grok that concept is what makes you stupid, not the fact that you were wrong.
Straight from the horses mouth: Using Task Manager to end a program yourself might be faster than waiting, but any unsaved changes will be lost. If you have important work that you want to keep, wait a few minutes and let Windows try to fix the problem first.

On both XP and Vista, TS2 used to do this to me all the time. It would LOOK like it had shut down, and then I'd wonder why everything was lagging, check the Task Manager, and find that the process was still there. Then I'd kill it. After a while I learned to just automatically check Task Manager after closing the game, and kill the process if it was still there. I had to kill it just about every time after playing for a significant amount of time (an hour or more). Nothing bad ever came of it and I never lost any changes. Note: I have a habit of saving my lot and exiting to the neighborhood before closing the game, because I believe this could help prevent loss.
On Win7 it has never done this to me yet.
I suspect it's a processor issue, because that was my bottleneck on both my XP and Vista computers. I always had plenty of RAM.
