    You have any custom content? Download the clean installer and get rid of anything that could mess up your game.

    Otherwise, I'd say uninstall then re-install.

    Just save your saved game files somewhere

    But I would reccomend a fresh start

    The Sims 2 is such touchy program >.<

    ok so you have lots of custom content, the more of it you have the slower your game will get because it has more to load and process and if your computer does not have enough hard drive space and plenty of ram then its going to crash/time out because it takes to long too load.

    so there are some things you can try

    uninstall then reinstall as people have suggested

    or

    remove some custom content that you dont use that often anymore

    or

    purchare another hard drive for your computer with more space on it and also if your computer is running less then 1gb of ram then I suggest you upgrade that also.
