   How long does this take to download?

     Depends on internet speed

     It depends on two things:
     1) Internet speed (obviously)
     2) And whether there is a bandwidth limit from which your downloading the Sims from.

     Sites tend to “throttle” users who download their content and if you download this via torrent, it will depend on the seeders available. Seeders are computers that share parts or all of the files.

     In any option you choose when downloading though, I would say within 30 minutes?

   I saved my game but when I go back to play it again the save isnt there. Is there away for me to fix it so I dont lose my save next time?

     once you save go into to documents/ea games/sims 2/ and copy and paste the neighborhoods folder to your desktop or wherever you want. or you could just copy the whole sims 2 folder but i wouldnt recommend that. this may also help: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-PC/Lost-all-my-households/td-p/8022040

     You can install the game on another disk, but don’t install it on removable drive.

   I downloaded and installed the game, I have a screen : the sims “mansion and garden”… is it the ultimate pack or just one extension ?

     its the ultimate pack. mansion and garden will show up every time but its just because it was the last installment to come out

     That is everything! Sims2 just used a method of showing off the latest pack you’d gotten. M&G is the last they released, that’s why it’s shown.

   Taking hours to download, is this normal or is there something wrong?

     It’s normal! Sims 2 base game + every expansion is a LOT of data is all.

    I’d wanted to change the resolution of the game but when I open the TSData file I don’t have file called ‘Res’, there is the only one ‘Control’ but neither I can’t change anything in it.

    I’ve installed it exactly as it says, although I have installed it to an external hard drive (I’m not allowed to fill my husband’s laptop with Sims games). When I try to click on the desktop link, it says the sims 2 is not installed so you can’t play this expansion pack. If I go and find the base game .exe it says please insert the correct disc. What am I doing wrong? I have all the games already from my childhood but this laptop has no disc drive.

      Launch the sims2ep9.exe in the sims 2 mansion and garden stuff folder, not sims2.exe

    Does anyone have a fix on the 800×600 resolution? You cannot edit these files because it is a torrent and the readme involving the resolution does not apply because you cannot edit torrent files. Is there a download with the higher resolutions or another solution? Playing in 800×600 is not ideal

      download the Borderless Gaming program and it’ll expand the game

      once you move your sim into a house you can edit settings there, its where you save, its the picture that looks like a monitor (youll see it)
