Hi there. Ever since I updated to the 1.66 patch, I've been getting a black screen at start up in the sims and I don't know how to fix it. Every time I try and open the sims another two of these files are created in my Documents folder. I'm not quite sure how to read them but it says theres a memory reading violation or something. 

Here is the contents of the most recent xcpt.txt file created.

Spoiler:

Any tips, suggestions, or help is greatly loved.

I have already done the following:

-uninstall and reinstall base game only
-uninstall all games and expansions and reinstall
-Try playing without mods
-Try playing with mods
-Updated to 1.67 + super fixed

Alas to no avail I am still having the issue.

How many expansions do you have, and do you have any cc or mods? It may be that your computer just doesn't have the memory to run it all.
