Needing help with The Sims 2 on Windows 11

I feel like I have tried everything I know and need the true gamerdevs help. I have my The Sims 2 from oldgamesdownload so my files are in
Documents / Ea Games / The Sims 2
And
My computer / Windows C / Mr Dj / The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection

I have already fixed graphics, language (I play in Finnish) and have the 4GB patch etc. Still, after playing for a bit I get “The Application has CRASHED. It will now terminate” for no apparent reason. Well. mine is in Finnish but im pretty sure thats the translation error code (Virhe sovelluksessa, sovellus suljetaan). (I dont have the pink flashes atm but I have had them on my last computer so i know what they are.)

What I have done:
-Language from reg editor

-I have downloaded the 4GB patch and moved the file from TSBin to CSBin and it shows this on my log:
https://gyazo.com/04ed985747be46d3650e91ef251bb0d5
shows memory as 4096MB

Also, I have manually put in my screen info, so the game regognizes it.
I have NVIDIA GeForce Gtx 1660 SUPER and for that I have
Added it to Video Cards.sgr in NVIDIA between riva and end like this:
card 0x1b1d "Riva 128"
card 0x21C4 "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER"
end

I have done this to VideoCards in TheSims2 files and Mansion files (Congig and CSConfic so 4 times)

Because the game I open and play with (latest addittions) is Mansion, I have done my edits on base game and Mansion.

I want to run my Graphigs as 1360x768 because I feel that thats the best option, so did these to the Graphics Rules.sgr
Changed the 1,2,3 to 3,3,3 in the beginning
seti Low 3
seti Medium 3
seti High 3

Changed the texture to this:
if (not $useSoftwareRasterizer)
# failed to obtain device texture memory size, force to 32MB
if ($textureMemory = 0)
seti textureMemory 4096
setb textureMemorySizeOK true
endif

I have deleted cache's in the Documents side, changed my Nvidia card to be the default card and make it run The Sims 2 in High quality and probably more but can’t remember now. It still won’t run. I feel like I figured out this part the last time I did this after like 6 hours of work, now im only down to 4 hours so the solution is somewhere in there, and Im sure it works on Win 11 the same it did on Win 10.
My game opens (screen goes to old reso twice and then the game opens up (i had this on win10 as well for years) and I might be able to play for 2-15 minutes or something like that, and then error code.
I never download anything, I dont use boolprops, my bodyshop stuff is in the game and all is well. I feel like maybe the problem is somehow in that last part, because thre are couple of places where it mentions the 32MB, so should I change every 32MB text to 4096 ? I didnt find anything on this from the forums. I even had my processor running on another screen while I played and only peaked when crash came, other than that computer was very "relaxed".

In case my logpic doesn’t work:

Now its not letting me open the file, I dont even think I did anything to it in between yesterday and today? (its in Finnish but it's about DirectX )

Did you delete the cache files? I do use MR DJ on Windows but I'm on 10 not 11, but hopefully someone who is will come along to help.

Your other option is to try Linux and there is more help on a few Discords for that. You could also get and try another version of sims 2 on there.
I can pm you some links.

Nvidia cards seem to need the "boolProp disableTexMemEstimateAdjustment true" line to avoid pink-flashing and crashing. It's already mentioned twice by default in the GraphicRules file, but as exceptions (I think?)

If you're not using the GraphicRules maker, try adding in the two lines mentioned here,
https://episims.tumblr.com/post/190...-helped-me-with
boolProp enableDriverMemoryManager true
boolProp disableTexMemEstimateAdjustment true

Those help (especially Nvidia cards) for memory use and pink-flashing, but also for random crashes. My game almost immediately stopped misbehaving after fixing this (after I'd done pretty much everything else I could think of as well, that is - it's not a fix-all on its own, but absolutely can do the trick if it's missing).

Some people have had success with using the Legacy GraphicRules file, with the "boolProp disableTexMemEstimateAdjustment true" line added in. It has some changed settings that makes it a bit more friendly towards newer cards.

Okay not the Drivers where mad as hell (second pic) so couldnt even get it to open, most likely there is a typo or a corrupt file somewhere, so im just gonna uninstall and then bring back my gamefiles and do all the graphics etc all over again. And gonna try what you suggested!

Ill be back.
