I can buy a television in the catalog, place it in the house, no problems there.
But when a sim turns on the original tv, the game crashes.

(I have tried uninstalling and re installing the game several times, i have no hacks, no downloaded objects. I also have no idea what could be wrong with my game.)

Any ideas?

it just so happens that my sims2pack installer doesn't work either :D
it installs and everything, but when i open it, it asks me to debug it.
the program did work 1% of the times i tried to open it, but most of the time it just gives me the error message.

Maxis' content installer should only be used for installing sims2pack and sims2skin files. Are you talking about the Sims2PackCleanInstaller?

Also, make sure your anti-virus program is disabled when you're playing the sims2 - it can crash your game.

I tried downloading a new copy of it and it still didn't work.
Thing is, i'm pretty sure my problem isn't with the downloaded objects, it's with the original in-game ones. I read on some FAQ that the thing to do in this case is a manual uninstall or delete the "Downloads" folder altogether, and I tried both with no success.
Sims2PackCleanInstaller won't make a difference, I don't think.
Yesterday i noticed that both the TV and the computer crash the game; the sims can find a job, but the "Play (whatever)" function causes it to crash.
