I figured out this problem. I have a different graphics card so I don't have an exact website you need to go to. But it is a driver problem. To fix the problem, I went to the Nvidia website and typed in Sim 2 into the site search. It brought me to a page where it gave me a link to download drivers to fix the problem. Your graphics card website should have a set of drivers that fix this problem. I have been playing Sims 2 all afternoon. No error message....no crashes.
