Clothing collection makes game go splodie?
JenW:
Over the weekend I created a clothing collection in CAS and added about a half a dozen or so outfits to it. But after a certain point, I got the dreaded "This application has crashed. This application will terminate." message when trying to add another outfit. I first thought maybe the dress I was trying to add was corrupted, so when I went back into the game I deleted it, but it happened again with a different dress. I haven't had any problems with the game after that and everything else in CAS was fine. As I said I only had maybe 6 or 7 items in the collection when it started to crash, so I doubt it was any max limit of items. And those several items went happily into the collection with nary a peep from the game.
Any suggestions/fixes/rocks to throw at my game?

Here's a nice sharp rock to bash in your tower's sides. ;D

When I first started playing S2, my laptop computer had the minimum rec of 32Mb Ram - it crashed everytime I used Build Mode. I moved the game to my desktop which had 64Mb and it was marginally better. I now have 128.
Have you tried upping your virtual memory settings and page file size? I have mine now set at the maximum for my system which is 1024.5 with Virtual Mem Total of 2047.9 and Pagefile Total of 4096.0
You may want to try checking/adjusting your settings. I also reboot my computer after using Body Shop, HomeCrafter and SimPE just to flush the memory before diving into the game.
Hope this helps
Ness:
do you mean video memory there, sockmonkey?
The minimum RAM requirement for TS2 is 256M - and I think you'd have to be mad to run at that level anyway!
SockMonkey:
No, it's the Virtual Memory and Page file (swapping) settings under the Advanced tab in System Properties on the hard drive.
Right-Click on 'My Computer' --> Properties --> Advanced and it's the top button in the box called Performance.
