I did this manually on my wife's not-so-advanced PC (which I had built for her) by mucking around in the Sims2 configuration files. I was successful but it took me 3 days and a whole lot of brainfood to do. I then tried the same thing on my own more super-advanced gaming rig - which has a heavy top-of-the-line GPU, but all I got was flickering and crashing when I tried to play the game on my computer. So I had given up on ever playing the Sims2 again. I was very sad for this since we both prefer Sims2 over all of the other Sims games. She could play, but I couldn't. Now I'm seeing this vid and I am jumping for joy. This is exactly what I've been waiting for. You're a godsend. Now I'll be able to get back into game. Thank you......Thank you......Thank you!

I suppose the video can be useful although there's one issue that's common on newer Windows 10 computers is that they often don't ship with DVD/Blu-ray drives (for example, the AORUS 15G laptop I have) meaning anyone who has The Sims 2 on discs rather than the Ultimate Collection can have a problem. It could be possible to install using another PC with a disc drive and copying it to the Windows 10 computer but unfortunately the game will not start without using a USB DVD/Blu-ray drive or a modified exe file because of the disc check. The Sims Stories games and The Sims 3 have a similar problem. A useful tip for people who want to get a USB DVD (or Blu-ray drive), I'd recommend getting a name brand DVD/Blu-ray drive such as LG, Samsung, ASUS, or BUFFALO. Do NOT purchase a USB DVD/Blu-ray drive from a no-name company from Amazon (like Rioddas or Gotega) because these drives barely work and will likely fail (likely due to the board connecting in the enclosure failing). Also, I've seen reviews that these "new" no-name drives actually contain old drives that could possibly be salvaged from old laptops or possibly be old, defective, or RMAed drives that they're selling a new which can be a concern since you don't know how reliable these old drives are or how often they've been used.

Well, I figured out what the problem is (kind of). For that way to launch and play Sims 2 you'll need a discrete video card, not integrated. For example, mine GTX 1080 broke and my only option was to play on remain Intel UHD 630. Sims 4 works fine, but the oldy-goldy Sims 2 doesn't see it even after uploading files and programs from that guide. Then I needed to buy a laptop to study and I managed to buy a decent Dell with GTX 1050m on board. And Sims 2 finally worked. So, my advise is to use descrete video cards, not integreted (or at least not the Intel brand).
@broadu83373 жыл бұрын
One more thing worth mentioning. I decided to reinstall the operating system (Windows 10) to reset all the drivers and the system itself, 'cause my system became a messy thing instead a PC.

Thank you so much for this, I couldn't believe my eyes how well this worked. The only problem is that my game is windowed, and I seem to be unable to set it to fullscreen? What's up with that? Can anyone help with this?

I'd recommend trying to check if you have it set to windowed mode by this method: www.lifewire.com/sims-2-windowed-mode-840403 :)
