Forum:Why is my game crashing?

I need help with The Sims 2. I have Nightlife, Apartment Life, and I recently installed Pets. It's been working great until now. I tried to merge the Crittur Family with one of my CAS families and my game crashed. I thought nothing of it and reloaded the game, only to find that my game now crashes everytime I try to play the family, all because of those stupid dogs. So I loaded another, non-corrupted family, and used Tombstone of L and D to add the Sims from the corrupted family to the non-corrupted one. There's nothing wrong with the Sims or the house, the problem is because I added the Critturs. I had the Sims find their own place, and now my game crashes whenever I click "Families." I can't access CAS or the family bin anymore. It's only happening in this neighbourhood, which is my favorite neighbourhood that I spent hours and hours building. I have no custom content and no hacks. Do I need to download a patch or something? If so, how do I do that? I need help ASAP! --Sparrowsong 21:31, April 21, 2010 (UTC)
