   Has anyone tried InSIM or InTeen mods ?

       I believe they’re implying that Directx 9c is already installed but the game is not detecting it. Correct me if I’m wrong OP.

     Mansion and Garden was the last Sims 2 expansion (I believe). All of the expansions are installed, but the loading screen just shows the most recent expansion.

    Hey guys! If you’re running Windows 10 and having issues playing the game (mine kept crashing seconds after opening), I found this YouTube video that actually fixed everything. Make sure you follow EVERY step. I’m not sure if it will work with other Window versions (or Mac?) but it worked for me.

    Really upset.
    Only Mansion and Garden runs.
    (My PC’s region is set to Japan.)
    When i try to run SIMS2 or SIMS2Pets it comes up with a message saying CD-ROM and OK.
    But i don’t understand what that means.
    Legit all the games DON’T work for me except for M&G.

    I also can’t change the resolution and the folder structure described is not in my game folder. Any suggestions?

    Reply

      Don’t know if this helps, but when I installed everything, instead of ‘EA Games’ the folder was under ‘Mr DJ’. Right click on the game icon on your desktop and click ‘show in folder’ and it should take you to the directory it’s installed in.

      Hope it helps.

    Anyone have any luck with adding CC to this? I’ve tried the add downloads file but it doesn’t add the CC into the game, even with the cc enabled.

      I got mine to work. Make sure the folder is “Downloads” with a capital D, and that it’s inside this directory: Documents > EA Games > Sims 2. Then make sure you have CC enabled in the game. It won’t give you a message at startup telling you it’s active or anything, so you have to actually go into a create-a-family and check.

    Everything seems good, but when I tried to play firt time, there are no neighborhoods at all. I don’t know what is wrong… can you help me?

      Rename the sims 2 folder in documents to something else and the game should start fresh if the neighborhoods don’t show up then, download the hoods from google and make sure you install them correctly
