After having a chance to test this "fix", I'm reporting back with mixed results. Renaming "faces.dat" does allow me to again access my league file, and if I don't regenerate pictures then everything seems to go just fine. However, once I use the "Force Update / Generate Player Pictures" FaceGen option, I again experience a corruption of "faces.dat" after two years of simming.

I'm hoping not to have to make a choice between using FaceGen and being able to advance past two simmed years. No one mentioned having this problem reoccur in the posts I linked to above. Any clue why "faces.dat" keeps going bad on me? Sure, there's a lot pictures (11,280 to be exact), but I'd think the system should be able to handle it.

Both computers I'm running have similar specs: A64 3000+/3200+, 1GB DDR RAM, 256MB 7800GT/X800XT, WinXP SP2.
