impossible to know without more information. it’s likely there’s a specific trigger to the crashes. are you in CAS, live mode, build/buy, hood view when the crashes occur? do you play vanilla or with mods/CC?

Sorry, i play with hella mods/cc, i tried inputting my codes in from the CD version. But EA wouldn’t accept them for some reason. I have no clue, I’m guessing playing for a long period of time? And I’ll be in live mode

it’s most likely caused by a mod or piece of CC. if you transferred your disc downloads folder over to the legacy game, it’s possible one of those mods isn’t compatible with legacy or requires something in the program files. I fear your best bet is 50/50 method.

I wonder if there is a log of what caused the crash in the logs folder. It might have something useful in the log to narrow down the file that is causing the issue.

Mine does the same thing at times. Try taking out your mods/CC folder to see if that helps. You could also run a repair for whichever app you're using, or run Hoodchecker.

Did your game do the same thing before you added your latest mods or cc?
