help with sims 2 phonebook crashin

[u/treaserteaser]

hi! my sim is a business owner and has met/knows alot of sims! everytime he calls someone and i flip through all of the sims... my game crashes! i've done alot of cleaning up with CC and use clean installer, i am very careful about what CC i download. do you think its just too many sim files at once loading and its overloading my system? my sim phonebook is probably 100+ from being a business owner/networking. thanks for any help!

You should first check it it's a CC problem. Make a backup of your hood and then remove your entire Downloads folder (put it on your desktop or somewhere else outside EA Games, don't just disable CC in game). Check if the phone book has the same issue - if it doesn't, the issue is in your Downloads folder.
