     I was having the same problem. Google and download Winrar. You can use a free trial. It will extract the file and allow you to complete the download. Everything seems to be working fine for me!

   This is amazing! Thank you so much you’ve saved me the faff of re-buying and downloading everything. Few minor glitches so far ie. walls glitch on/off when orbiting sometimes but nothing I can’t live with. Only issue is I don’t have the folder ‘The Sims 2 Mansion and Garden Stuff’ as described in Resolution Fix.txt, so I can’t sort resolution, can you help?

   When I load the game it just has a black screen that says “out of range”. I hear music and when I hover over the icon running it can see the game in a small window but when I click on it it just says the same message.

   There’s nothing wrong with my game, it runs fine. But I wanted to reset my neighborhoods and going into Windows (C:) I find that I don’t have any files or folders relating to The Sims 2. I don’t even have a folder that says “Ea GAMES”. If anyone knows if these files install in a different place or could direct me to something that might help, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

   Does anyone know why this happens and if it is easy to fix?

    Do I need to have EA Documents for this or can I keep playing this without needing Origin or EA files? Also, my game won’t save any of my progress. It run smoothly but it doesn’t save. Can someone help me?

      In the description of the game, it says that the IKEA Home Stuff Pack won’t be downloaded, but it’s not true, the IKEA Pack is in the game files and it’s broken and makes the game crash.
      To fix it download this copy of the IKEA Pack: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sRuDl5ujHJrFLVcUbOabYKoXqKszvJo5/view

      Once you downloaded it, open it and copy the files then replace them with the broken ones in The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection > The Sims 2 IKEA Home Stuff

      I also suggest to download the 4GB Patch:
      https://ntcore.com/?page_id=371

      Once you downloaded it, run it and select executable in The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection > The Sims 2 Mansion and Garden Stuff Pack > TSBin > Sims2EP9.exe

      I hope this helped.

    Thank you for this amazing nostalgia.
    There are no « Download » file where I used to install mods. Is it possible to install mods in this version ?
