I love playing the Sims 2. I installed it on my Vista laptop. It was running better than before. Everything was amazing; the sound sims, weather. The just yesterday I went into Create a Family clicked on Create a Sim and....My game crashes. I checked for hacks. None. Glitches. None. Viruses....Nada. What is wrong? I has never done that. It's not the system. My computer passes the normal standards and Vista is the best operating system for it. I have checked. I have done a system restore but that didn't help it only made it worst. Also Vista is supposed to check for a solution to the problem but it hasn't for this. It does for everything else, but why not this. My computer has done many updates could it be that my computer did one while I was playing and I happened to "overwrite" one of the files? I really don't want to have to reinstall all of my games ( I've got all of them including the stuff packs). It took me over 8 hours last time . I don't want to do it again. Please Help ME!!!!!

Hmm...it could be that one of the updates caused the problem, although unlikely it is possible, having not worked with vista for a few months I cant remember how you do this but try uninstalling your most recent updates and see if that fixes it.
an alternative if you cant do that or it doesnt work is to stick the sims 2 disk in and go add remove programs and try a repair option (if there is one, I havnt played sims 2). if not go into program files and find the sims 2 in there and locate the files that are you families/sims/houses or whatever and copy them to your documents or desktop (temporarily) and then uninstall the sims and reinstall it and copy the files back to where you got them from and try playing it them...if that still dont work well then I'm stumped
