     [RESOLVED]

     1. I Create a new folder in the D: drive eg D:/The Sims 2 UC

     2. Move the contents of C:Program Files (x86)Mr DJThe Sims 2 Ultimate Collection to the new folder I made on step 1 in drive D:

     3. Delete the original “The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection” folder in Mr DJ folder, which should be empty now, from C:Program Files (x86)Mr DJ

     4. Open cmd (Comand Promp) and Run as administrator

     5. In the Command Prompt window enter these commands:

     cd C:Program Files (x86)Mr DJ

     mklink /D “The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection” “D:The Sims 2 UC”

     6. If you go to C:Program Files (x86)Mr DJ now, you should see a new The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection folder and it will have a little symbol beside the folder icon to show it’s a symbolic link. When you open it, it will open the D: drive folder if you linked it correctly.

     I hope it helps some of you who want to move The Sims 2 to another drive (I move from drive C: to drive D:)

     Hi I just had the same issue and I fixed it by changing the drive I was using and installing as administrator. The drive I was originally intending to use only had 5 gigs of space.

   So i tried making custom sims in the sims 2 body shop and they dont appear in game where you can select a premade sim. As a matter of fact, its ONLY base game premade sims- not even any of the expansions premade sims. Help??

         Extract it with winrar

         Open the folder

         open the game folder (not the redsist one)

         Find the app file (Should be something like “sims.exe” or something close to that”)

         It should install and run right after

   start.exe file does nothing. it’s listed in task manager, but it does absolutely nothing. tried all compatibility modes and running as administrator, it DOES NOTHING.
   i see i’m not the only one with this problem, why hasn’t it been addressed? what’s wrong?

     Go to “game files”. There should be a folder in game files called ‘crack’. Open the crack folder and it should say ‘sims 2 no disc’ or something along those lines. Right click on this folder and run as administrator. this should allow you to play the game with no issues without the disk.

      It is literally called ‘EA Games’, not Electronic Arts. If there is no folder called ‘EA Games’, you should be okay.

    Is it really necessary to delete my EA folder? I have sims 4 and sims 3 installed from origin app. Or could i just move the folder to the recylcle bin, install sims 2 and move the folder back?

      its “EA Games” folder they want you to delete IF you have, not your electronics arts folder.

      Go to documents/EA Games/the Sims 2 and delete the folder called Neighborhoods. The Game should generate a new one when started. It worked when I did it. You can also then copy the new, unplayed Neighborhoods folder and put the copy somewhere else, so you always have a fresh new game ready!

      Delete the ‘EA Games’ folder that has The Sims 2 in it.
