      I had the exact same error – here is the resolution (from Mercy – see below for the entire posting):

      You need to run the game in windowed mode. To get windowed mode, right click the shortcut on the desktop, select properties and at the end of the target add a -w. So the target should be this, “C:Program Files (x86)Mr DJThe Sims 2 Ultimate CollectionThe Sims 2 Mansion and Garden StuffTSBinSims2EP9.exe” -w

      If the target is different, just add a -w after the quotation marks

      I was able to get the game to launch to the loading screen. Unfortunately, it then crashed at about 60% loaded….. 🙁

    Update 13 June 2021

    1. It seems people don’t care about scrolling through comment, and looking for solution. Why u do that guys?
    2. In Graphics Rules Maker you need to change the directory to Mr DJ one.
    3. Error code – 11 means that you haven’t extract them. Use Winrar to extract it before running setup.exe
    4. Alternatively, if you can’t use Graphics Rules Maker, then just run the game in Windowed Mode.

    Hi, after downloading a got a folder named “The Sims Ultimate Collection” with 3 files inside: The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection.rar (RAR File, 6,949,706 KB), ThesSims2UltimateCollection_meta.sqlite (SQLITE File, 9 KB), and TheSims2UltimateCollection_meta (XML doc, 1kb).

    But the rar file is all white and non interactable. When I try to open it, there’s no app to do it, and there’s no option to extract it (mind you, the file downloaded like this, I havent done any extracting beforehand). So what can I do?

        Oh, yeah, thank you for putting up with my ignorance. Downloading that worked!… which kind of sucks, because its only free for 40 days? Is there some other app/integrated app that always extracts for free?

          7zip is a free alternative that can extract all archives (including .rar, .7zip, .zip, etc.) it’s 100% free.

          Well winrar trial is limitless. Even after 40 days, u can still use it as long as you want. There is free alternative one, called 7-zip.

    I’m just in the middle in the process of downloading the game and it is near 90 percent complete and then it says An error occurred while unpacking: Unable to write data to disk! Unarc.dll returned an error code: -11
    ERROR: file write operation failed.

    Help!

      I have the same problem, I heard that using Graphics Rule Maker may help some people and there’s other types of fixes you can try via google however nothing works for me except playing in windowed mode.
      To get windowed mode, right click the shortcut on the desktop, select properties and at the end of the target add a -w. So the target should be this, “C:Program Files (x86)Mr DJThe Sims 2 Ultimate CollectionThe Sims 2 Mansion and Garden StuffTSBinSims2EP9.exe” -w
      If the target is different, just add a -w after the quotation marks
