Apartment Life hates me

So I was presented with the Apartment Life EP to cheer me up in my gloomy sickly state, and I decided to just jump in and install it (a sure sign of how much I just don't give a fuck right now), but it's not working for me. The game crashes during the loading screen, right around where it says "preparing pops and locks" or some such thing. I tried two different no-cd cracks, and I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it again, and nothing changes. Why must I fail so badly?

If you have any idea what I'm doing wrong, please point out my stupidity. Maybe my brain is just too cloudy for this right now. I did remove the hacks, though. I got that much right.

*sigh*

You can try another thing. Back up your hoods and delete them from the The Sims 2 folder. Than start the game. If it won't crash again, the game should start creating the hoods again. Then you can overwrite the files with your backup.

Sorry to hear you're having problems. I know how it feels, I always had problems with The Sims 1. I mean always - with every single EP. Not sure if what I told you helps, but you can always give it a try.
