How to play on Windows

  1. Make sure you have uninstalled all older versions of The Sims 2 games, including registry entries, and make sure there is no “EA Games” folder in your Documents folder (if you do then delete it). Also make sure that you disable your antivirus before installing the game.
  2. Click on the download button and download The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection.rar
  3. Extract the “The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection” folder to your desktop. If you don’t know how to extract files, see this article: https://oldgamesdownload.com/wiki/install-games-on-windows/
  4. Open the folder called “Game Files” found inside of the extracted folder and double click on the Setup.exe file. Click on install and wait for the game to finish installing.
  5. Go into the Redist folder and install “dxwebsetup.exe” by double clicking on it and going through the setup.
  6. There will now be a Sims 2 icon on your desktop! Right click it and select run as administrator to run the game (always run the game as an administrator).
  7. Enjoy the game!

Installation notes:

  • This is a repack of The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection and includes almost all game’s expansion and stuff packs (important: a few packs are missing such as IKEA Home Stuff. You can download and install these packs separately.)
  • The first time you open the game, it will take some time to start and you might see a black screen for a while. It will also skip the intro video, please be patient, next time it will launch quickly!
  • Change ‘Shadows’ from high to either low or medium through the ingame graphics options , otherwise a black square will appear underneath your Sims instead of indoor shadows…
  • If you can’t change the resolution of the game from 800×600 to another, read ‘Resolution change.txt’ textfile provided in the “Game Files” folder. If they are asking you for administrator permission, then move the file to your desktop, make the changes and then drag it back to its original folder.

  2. Whenever I open the game it only opens with Mansion and Garden. I go into Program Files and find the listings for all the expansions and the base game but clicking on them asks me to insert a disk. How do I play the whole game?

    • the loading screen is determined by whatever the last pack installed is, its the full game, it just says mansion and garden

  4. I tried to follow the decoration to update the res file for this but when I go to save it after following the instructions it tells me I don’t have the admin rights to do so? So I am stuck in 800×600

  5. Hello, Oldgames. I hope you’re doing well. I’ve downloaded Sims 2 Ultimate Collection here before, and it worked. I was able to play it and download CC. Now that I have a new computer, a Predator PO5-650, I’m having problems. I was able to complete steps 1-5. Step 6: I went to the Redist folder, clicked on dxwebsetup.exe, and tried to install it, but it kept saying I ‘don’t have Network Connection’ even though I have internet. Is there something I’m doing wrong? Can you please help me? I would miss this game and would love to install it. If anyone else wants to help, feel free to jump in!

    Thanks for hearing me out.
