Oh dear, that is a real trip to get the Sims and an Aureal Vortex Sound card happy together. I ended up using the 2041 Certified drivers, Disabling SB 16 emulation in Device Manager and REM the line in the Autoexec.bat. Then finally after banging my head against the wall for a couple weeks, I nailed it and the Sims crashed no more from sound problems. Had to get the IRQ's separated too. Card in slot roulette to accomplish that. Running the SIMS with your AV on is another good way for them to crash on takeoff or if your video card drivers aren't up to snuff.
There's a readme on the CD, ramble through it. Also version 1 needs a patch to run right, but if you also have Living Large it fixes the issues in The Sims. There's a list of FAQ's on EA's site www.thesims.com Happy troubleshooting...
