You both should download the Sims Clean Installer you can find it somewhere on here. It will find all the hacks that are messing up your game and you can delete them one by one, it helped me out. I had a problem with the mailbox it wouldn't let me go to any of my houses and when I did a run of the Clean Installer it found the mailbox and I deleted it and now my game works. Good luck!

That is happening to me right now, I need to find which file is making the game crash! I'm going to play with Clean Installer when I get home! Does it say whether files are corrupt or not?

Yeah the "Game has crashed. It will now terminate" or whatever message? Same thing is happening with me! If I find out which file it is I'll let you know in case you have the same file.

I had alot of Alienware's before I started using the clean installer. they get installed with lots you download and stuff.

No it's not the alienwares, although they are annoying since they take up space, it's a corrupt file in your downloads directory (maybe one of the alienwares IS the corrupt file, you never know). I've been through this once before. Huuge pain, but if this Clean Installer can find the corrupt file I will be SO happy!

yeah i could imagine, well i dont know how to use the clean installer, but when i scan the downloads folder the newspaper hack is highlighted red, so i disabled the package and thought that is what might have been doing it, but nope when i still tried to buy a tv it still crashed...yes the alienwares r taking up a hell of alot of room and its annoying me, i wish they were just under one computer and thats it, but no they all have to be dear then one another by one dollar which is making it hard...i really hope sumone can help me

You could probably just delete them from in the game. Go in like you were gonna buy one, click it and then click on the lil trashcan icon.

Another thing you might check for a bunch of is the cappucino machine. For some reason I had just shy of 20 of them, yet I never downloaded any recolors or extras. Strange.
