Why is my Sims 2 game crashing?

I have Sims 2 & the Nightlife Expansion pack installed in my computer. I
downloaded the patches for both.
I have Vista & I have a NVidia Geforce 8500GT graphics card.
The error message "the application has crashed. the application will
now close." keeps popping up after a few minutes when playing the Sims
or in Bodyshop.
I've tried using XP Compatibility mode but it still crashes.

If anyone has any idea what the problem is I'd appreciate a response.
Thanks for reading this.

Did you download the latest driver from Nvidia website and install it?
