Can't install The Sims 2 on Windows 7 or 10 by bertilsson Zombies Plants vs. Zombies 2 Plants vs. Zombies Heroes Other Plants vs. I personally cannot thank you enough for all you do in your blogs and videos.
I really like all the work you did, and it worked, but only once…. I did all the steps, played for a while, saved, quit and then tried again with no luck…. I tried repeating the last part, but it did nothing…. I wanted to share the fix that worked for me, since I continued to have issues getting the 4GB patch to actually register with my game despite getting the success message.
Thank you! Your instructions were easy to follow and I was able to apply with no issues. I was just putting up with the not too often crashed until this weekend when I made a huge shopping center lot and I guess I had to to much in it and it would crash every time.
That can happen with really large lots that have a lot of items! I love making big lots and sometimes I have to reign myself in. Just got the Sims 2 and I knew exactly where to go to find out how to get it working.
So weird to be playing it for the first time in 10 years lol. Hey cindy, sorry to be a pain but I was really wondering what pc you have to play the sims 2 on? Love the videos! I am autistic and this game is tremendously important to me and I was going crazy not being able to run it on windows Hey Cindy! I found this thread because I was able to find my charger for my super old laptop that still works and currently The Sims 2 works on it works completely fine but I wanted to update to Windows 10 so I can use this laptop to play other games as well as The Sims.
However after reading all the steps, I realized my laptop only had 3GB of Ram with 2. Do you think these steps will work in my situation? Thank you for your time! Hi, getting any help with getting the game to work would be very much appreciated. I had the game working for quite some time, but I needed to repair the game from Origin because it was saying some of the files had disappeared and it was no longer launching.
The 4gb patch has applied, afaik. I installed the patch and it worked I used to have the pink glitch in the neighborhood view and in-game. Following all of this I can now play! This was a life saver! All the other steps should be the same. Nor a folder called x Sorry, could you please help? Not all the warnings are up front. Hey Cindy, so I do not really know if my settings are now correct. After applying the 4gb patch my memory ist constantly at , but my free memory is switching around after I opened and played the game.
It is still pretty high and switches between and , but it is not constantly at and that concerns me a little bit. I also already tried moving the. Before I mess more with my game I wanted to know if I actually need to or if my memory is fine that way. If you could help me with this I would be more than gratefull!
Cindy, you saved me! I was using different patch, different methods but yours helped me! Now I can play without crashing! Hey Cindy, thank you for this fix! Feel free to join the Discord and ask in our help channel. Live Mode i guess i can deal with lol but creating a new Sim is near impossible without a bad headache right after…. It always worked just fine for me, even after the Windows 10 upgrade, but one day it just randomly stopped working?
It does this no matter what I do. Any help would be really appreciated because I miss playing this game so much! The patch worked on my config file, but when I tried to run the game I got the Direct X error. I went to Leefish but I dont recognize any of the video card sgr…not sure what to do now.
Hello repaired on Origin, it will put the files back as before and the patch will be uninstalled. Thank you for this wonderful guide. It was the very last thing on your list that fixed it for me. I would have needed the 4gig patch and the graphics rules put my video card in the database.
Again thanks for this guide. I am happy to be able to play. Hi anna. What does the error message say? I am having some problem with managing the 4GB patch. Now, I know I must sound like a noob, but you said unzip twice, and what should I do to unzip in these two cases? You just need to unzip the file you download — the patch itself.
Hi, Cindy! Thanks for all your work on The Sims, thanks to you my game runs perfectly and looks great on Desktop Computer.
But I have this problem on my laptop. Would you know what to do? Hopefully that will fix it! Thanks for replying as well, love your videos! And how could I fix it? Sounds like a mod conflict to me. Good luck! I tried all but it wont work. The error actually is just a plain prompt with nothing written on it. I was able to play for like 10 games but then it wont run.
I have a problem. Also, my game was lagging a bit after installing the GRM; I buy something, for example a bush by the grave, and suddenly some spots from the ground disappear for a moment!?
Is it something to do with GRM, or how am I going to fix this? Hello, im Danasia and I have issues involving me playing the sims2.
I have the sims2 disc but i cannot play it because my pc does not have a disc holder thing…the only way for me to get the sims2 is for me to have it digitally but they dont have that anymore…what do you suggest? The only way to get a legal copy of The Sims 2 is to get the disc version. Sorry for the late reply! Please come join our Discord and post in the simshelp channel.
There are a lot of knowledgeable people there who can help you further with troubleshooting. And I will jump in to help when I can! Hey Cindy, i downloaded this the correct way and my sim keeps resetting! Try turning testing cheats on and an error box should pop up when your Sim resets. Hi Matina! It sounds like you have Origin set to install in a different location. Go to Application Settings from the Origin menu and check to see where it is installing. That should tell you where your game files are.
It would reappear if you moved the screen slightly, but it would do this every time. That resulted in the game crashing instantly, so I had to uninstall and reinstall the game 3 times. I then just installed the 4GB patch only. The game started just fine this time, but the flashing was still there. I am not sure where to go from here. Can you help? Hi Mary! Everything I know about getting the game to work in Windows 10 is in this post. Are you using an Nvidia Graphics card?
Thank you so much for the help! It worked! I got a question though, how do I manage to download the expansion packs now?
