If you've got some invalid skins the game can crash when you're trying to change them. Is that the problem?

Is that that's the problem? You downloaded a house?

Did you try to put it in a lot where you already had a family living? That can cause problems.

When exactly does the game crash?

I have had problems with the Hot Date expansion, when I use that it frequently dumps me out of the game without warning, or fails to load. Recently it corrupted one of my houses, too.

I've recently purchased pirate copies of all the expansion packs and the original game, so I can use all the expansions at once (can't do that with pirate copies downloaded from the net, y'see), so I'll see if that sorts things out.
