[Sims 2] Activation Violation and the State of my Game

 

Exception code: 0xC0000005 (-1073741819) ACCESS_VIOLATION.

That is what is plaguing my Dreams...

So, after more than 4 years, MeadowHaven (My main hood) bites the dust.  

 

Graphics card change happened and now whenever I am doing anything in that hood I get ‘Activation Violation’ Error and crash. Also, sims are purple flashing messes even if I do manage to load a lot -sigh- 

 

I 50/50ed and still cannot fully get rid of the Activation Error. So I am starting fresh in another (clean) version of the game to try a new and different kind of neighborhood. Without shaders, and my graphics on medium, it is playing along, for now. I don’t trust it though. 

 

I may try to salvage the sims from MeadowHaven in Simpe down the road but with the game being as crash happy as it is I’m just waiting to see if a fresh game will make a difference? If the game wont play with a new hood with different CC then :/ I hope so, otherwise, the only thing I have left to try is to just do a reinstall of all the games and even when others with the Access Violation Error have done that, sometimes even that doesn't work...

 

I don’t want to stop playing this silly old game because of this community and I will try everything to get to stay :(
