1. Are U using Windows XP?
2. Have U download the latest patch?

If 1 = true. Don't play the f*king game. The Sims don't support Windows XP.
If 2 = true and 1 = false. Contact the f*king EA-GAMES support.
If 2 = false and 1 = false. Download the latest patch. I think it's 2.0
If 2 = fasle and 1 = true. Read the 1 = true line above.

Don't mean to harm any one sorry if some one took thes affensive.

Hmm I forgot to write. That the sims only are supporting Windows 95 and 98 if I'm not misstaking me. U can read it in the back of the game.
And download the latest patch if its supporint 2000.
Observe, 2.0 don't fix the XP or the 2000 problem.
But I've find a 2000 crack on gamefix homepage. Maybe that should help the rare shutting down bug or what U will call it.

For what it's worth, I can play the Sims perfectly on XP. However this is The Sims + every expansion pack including unleashed. Since every expansion has a more up to date executable, it might help to buy a more recent one like vacation. yeah, yeah, I know, this sucks. It seems like Maxis isn't really to keen on bringing out free updates, and prefer to instead update the executable in the expansion packs. It's a cruel world out there, but with the Sims you can do the same to your own virtual people
