I don't know what causes the crash in the first place. It doesn't always seem to happen during the same year. Hrm.

How about this as a workaround, albeit not a perfect one? Every year of simming before reaching the last day of the year, make a copy of your faces.dat file. If the game does crash and destroy your faces.dat file, simply substitute in your copied file.
