Dang, that's a long question. ill make this quick and simple. The same thing happend to me, but the problem for me was that my disc was scratched

Answer 2

That always happened to my computer when I would play the Sims 2. When I took it into best buy, they told me I had to get a new Graphic Card. After I got it and re-installed it, it worked perfectly! Graphic cards are maybe $30+? GOOD LUCK! :D
