MySims "MySims(TM) has stopped working" error - fix.

Hello everyone,

Here's a possible fix for people who get the "MySims(TM) has stopped working" error when they try to launch the game. The game will crash upon launch.
The crash error will look similar to this:

In order to fix this crash issue, you can add the game's executable to Windows DEP exceptions as follows:

1. Right click on the My Computer icon and select Properties. (Or use [WINKEY] + [PauseBreak] on your keyboard)
2. On the left, go to Advanced system settings.
3. Go to the Advanced tab.
4. Choose the top option (Performance) and click Settings.
5. Go to the Data Execution Prevention tab and add the mysims.exe to the list. 
6. Launch the game and... ENJOY playing!

The video below describes how to do this process for The Sims 3, but it's pretty much the same for MySims. (You just have to add a different .exe file to the DEP exceptions list)
