    Hello :3, i have installed the game yet unfortunatelly I can’t play it.
    The program says that I don’t have a DirectX 9.0c compatiable graphics adapter on my computer :((.
    I already tried numerous times to install the adapter using the intaller from the redisit, I also tried intalling DirectX from the Microsft webside.
    Unfortunatlly all my attemts at fixing this issiue have been unsuccesfull >.:c!!!

      turns out i was putting my cc in the wrong place. Go to documents > EA games > sims 2 > if there isn’t was Downloads folder make one and make sure its a capital D > add your cc and mods there

    Downloaded fine & loads fine. When click on a family to play, crashes on loading screen. Changed graphics settings in file & downloaded Graphics Rules Maker. Still crashing on same point – any ideas?

    Okay so I’m running windows 11 and I got this to run really smoothly and it doesn’t actually take that much effort or fiddling. Honestly, expecting a game this old to run beautifully just from a download like this is unrealistic.

    The first thing you need is the 4gb patch which is going to get the game up and running. Without this, it’s going to crash right on launch. Find it here: https://ntcore.com/?page_id=371.
    Here is a tutorial on how to install it: https://ilovethesims2cc.tumblr.com/post/189291798952/very-important-note-for-the-sims-2-players.
    There are 2 changes from that tutorial that you need to watch out for. ONE is that you’re going to apply it to “Mansion and Garden stuff” instead of “Fun With Pets” as this download doesn’t include that pack.
    TWO is since this abandonware, and not from an official source, it’s location on your hard drive is going to be different than the tutorial.
    Mine was This PC->Windows (C:)->Program Files(x86)->Mr DJ->The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection->The Sims 2 Mansion and Garden Stuff->TSBin. Apply the patch here to the application titled “Sims2EP9” and that part is over. This will get the game to launch.
    If your experience is like mine, it’s going to crash while downloading the assets such at pets, hobbies, ect.

    The last thing you need to do is install Graphics Rule Maker. This is what’s going to get the game to load completely and run smoothly. Here is the link for that: https://www.simsnetwork.com/tools/graphics-rules-maker.
    These instructions you can follow exactly and it’s very simple and easy.

    All of this worked for me, fingers crossed it helps some of you too!

      they can they just need to have a higher love score. my tip for you is to first make sure you have your sims have chemistry so look for the little lightning bolts. you can do it without them but it’ll take a bit longer. just make sure their friendship is high and then start flirting and doing the kiss options. eventually more options will appear then propose to live together and you’ll be able to get them to woohoo by having them relax first
