It is a REAL shame because while I was enjoying a nice 20+ hour playthrough (not at once obviously) I just couldn't stand the constant crashes. How every five minutes I'd save my game and hope for the best, or I'd keep my Sims living at home and never let them go out to any community lots because they'd crash, keep my Sims from going to college because somehow University is a game killer as it'll crash so often that you don't even have time to save!
So after all these crashes I decided to go for that 4GB patch that everyone tells you to get because "It's great for the random crashes!" you know what? They're absolutely right, it IS good for the random crashes because my game doesn't crash anymore! But that's because my game doesn't launch anymore instead! Anyone know how to fix this without just completely uninstalling my game? Because like I said, 20+ hours of fun progress right there I'd absolutely dread seeing go to waste.

@guisadop, if you have Windows 10, and trying to install your game from discs, by default Windows 10 will not allow that, it disabled the ability to use SafeDisc (written on some game discs) and will not let you install. You have to google that, I had the instructions here somewhere (maybe in the old Sims 1 forum here) but MS decided they wouldn't allow 10 and update to Windows 7 to use discs anymore with SafeDisc on them. You would have to enable a particular driver in cmd.
Lets make this a reality!
I’m not sure if Origin is the problem or Windows made an update after the patch that made the patch not work anymore because when I tried to use the patch my folder went from saying 2048gb to 1600gb (I think) after I installed it... I’ve used the second fix Jessa said to do and that fix is able to still work and it’s helped my computer/game and I’m still able to play my game, that said I wish the patch worked for Origin users.
Update the Landgrab makeover was saved by some stroke of luck... Now I just need to finish it!
