Hey so today I was trying to open up Body Shop (which has worked before) but it kept on crashing about a third of the way through loading. I have tried just about everything; deleted the cache and cigen files, deleted thumbnails, taken out downloads and saved sims, but still nothing has worked. I'm running Windows 8.1 with an AMD A8-6410 APU with AMD Radeon R5 Graphics 2.00 GHz processor and 6 GB of RAM. Note: Just before it started crashing on the loading screen it actually loaded but with nothing showing but a black background and the menu, but then crashed.

Update: I actually got it to open but still got the strange black screen and crash. Here's a screenshot.

Did you try making it large address aware? There is a tutorial here:

sometimes restarting the computer works for me when any program has crashed.

That didn't work either. Dang...

restarting the computer? the tutorial that the other poster linked to might work.

or if that does not work either, might attempt the changes with other programs.

neither do

That looks like a graphic problem, please read this: http://modthesims.info/wiki.php?tit...Recommendations

the problem is though that it has run on this computer before so i don't think it's a graphics problem?

okay i think i have fixed it finally thanks guys!

what fixed it?
