Seasons is crashing
blubug:
I only get it when I'm entering a lot. The lot loading time is average, I suppose, if it takes a little too long, I just move the mouse to discover the "This program has performed an ...(something-illegal operation) and had/has to be terminated" window. It's never happened while playing the game, just loading lots. I'd say it was a game bug. (I do have a Nvidia card, but I blame the game anyway)
Cons:
blubug..can you not get into any lot and play? I do notice the lots in hoods I had before I installed seasons
are slow loading but I don't get the dreaded "This Application has crashed blah blah until I play for awhile.
Maybe a couple of hours or maybe a few minutes...not real consistent there.
Now I seem to be able to play Rosehill or whatever it's called.Lots load fast there. Going to load everything back up (CC and Hacks)and go there
and see what happens. My last resort is to change these drivers on the Video card. But with Nvidia drivers being so hit and miss for this game......this could be a long drawn out process with no fix even after I do that. Worked so good in Pets.....everything worked in Pets.
I'm like you lets blame the game. ;D Works for me.

I've had similar problems, and I do NOT have an Nvidia card, so a game bug seems a likely culprit. Before my latest reinstall of Pets, I was having problems with all but the smallest of lots crashing upon loading, or rather *not* loading. It did not seem to matter whether the lots were custom or Maxis, or whether or not they used CC. Anything larger than a 2x3 lot would crash during the loading process. I never did figure out the problem, but culling my Downloads folder from 6.71 GB to just over 3 GB seems to have helped (or perhaps the reinstall alone did the trick - dunno). I have a high-end computer, and do not have Seasons.
Another problem I had before reinstalling was that my Downloads folder seemed to have become corrupted (or something). For example, in the Buy catalogue I found a Maxis armoire with a recolour that looked like rooftiles. Deleting the weird texture caused some totally different custom object to completely disappear from the catalogue. This actually happened with several objects - that's just one example. I never did figure out what caused that particular problem, but it seems to be cured since the reinstall. The new problem I'm having is with recolours of Maxis objects overwriting the original textures *if* the recolours are subfoldered. This only happens on objects that do not normally have colour options, such as paintings, certain lamps, and the Patio Plastics chair. Once I move the recolours from their subfolder(s) into the main Downloads directory, the original colours of the objects, along with their recolours, appear when I look at the item details in the catalogue. I really don't want all these files floating around in the main directory, but I also don't want custom textures overwriting the originals. It's very irritating. Stupid EA.
I didn't mean to highjack your thread, Cons, but I've experienced similar problems (plus others), and really would like to know what might have caused them.

No problem. Only way we'll get to the bottom of the cause of these crashes is to put them all together.
I've looked on other BBS's to see what's causing crashes lately and there are several with problems out there.
I had a crash problem in OFB..somehow got it fixed. Nothing in Pets, ran smooth as silk and now Seasons is giving me a bizare headache. This machine is big enough to handle most anything...
2.2GZ Athlon64 processor, 1 gig of Ram, 256 meg video card, 160 gig HDD with an 8 meg cache, surely to god that's enough for Sims2. Crud I build computers....and this one has me baffled. Shouldn't be a hardware issue unless it's a driver on that video card.
The only time I had the weird graphics like your describing was in OFB and it was a driver issue. I had to roll back my video driver to an older version. But I didn't think it affected ATI cards as much as Nvidia. Unless you have a catalyist driver that's way too old for the game. Then they were having some glitches with those. My maxis content had strange modeling effects on it. Didn't look like roofing tiles, but a whole new design pattern.At that time I had no CC Downloads so I knw it wasn't that.
Bangelnuts:
there is a massive memory leak during seasons play I checked my available Ram prior to firing up the game it said 772 MB available while the game is running its reduced to 159 MB of available Ram
