Game Description
The Sims 2 is a 2004 strategic life simulation video game developed by Maxis and published by Electronic Arts. It is the sequel to The Sims. The game has the same concept as its predecessor: players control their Sims in various activities and form relationships in a manner similar to real life.
Publisher description:
The Sims 2 is the next generation of the bestselling PC franchise. For the first time, players control their Sims over an entire lifetime from womb to tomb. Every choice you make has a relevant and dramatic effect on the life of your Sim. More life-like Sims, all-new gameplay and the ground-breaking addition of genetics gives players a more vivid and in-depth Sims experience.
Guiding your Sims through “Life’s Big Moments” takes on new importance, as players now get a “Life Score” to measure how well they are playing each individual Sim. The decisions that players make throughout the lifetime of their Sims now have an impact on their long-term success or failure. A choice made as a toddler has a direct effect on the teen and adult Sim they become. Will players be able to successfully lead their Sims through such important events as a first step, first crush, or marriage proposal, all while the clock is ticking?
The Sims in The Sims 2 are more aware and responsive to both other Sims and their surroundings. Sims truly come to life expressing moods and feelings through more realistic body animations and for the first time facial animations. They form complex relationships and are able to distinguish between family and friends, platonic friendships and romantic love. Sims in The Sims 2 now have DNA. Passing along physical characteristics and traits to their offspring, Sims both resemble and behave like their ancestors. As in real life, the appearance of the Sims now changes over time. In addition to getting older, a Sim that spends too much time on the couch will develop a paunch and a Sim that works out will enjoy rock solid abs.
An entirely new 3-D engine makes the world of The Sims 2 more life-like and dynamic. The Sims 2 will also introduce an all-new “Create-a-Sim” feature. This allows you to customise the facial features of your Sim with a few simple clicks, to a level of detail never realised before. In The Sims 2, players are now able to build dwellings over two stories and have the ability to coordinate and customise the homes of their Sims to a new degree of design with all-new furniture, lighting and objects.

5GGG-XR4L-6845-R845-6845 It worked for me, let me know if you need another one
I have little problem. I have Windows 10 and I did everything,(downloading, opening setup ect.) but when I’m trying to open The Sims 2, the is a small red circle with “X”. I was trying multiple times, but this always happens. I have no idea what I can do with it. If someone know what should I do, please tell me. And sorry for my English, I’m still learning.
same thing for me here.
Find the Crack folder in the ISO folder mounted on the virtual disk, there will be a Sims 2.exe there, right click and run as administrator.
It worked! Thank you soo much ❤❤❤
Thank you
hi! it works really well ty but there is just a little problem, i don’t have any other screensize than 320×200. It is too small. how can i fix this problem?
WOrks well thx
Okay, so here’s how I figured out how to fix some of the problems. I’m using a Windows 8 tablet, by the way.
– failed to find DirectX 9.0 graphics adapter error: download the Graphics Rules Maker program from simsnetwork.com and follow the instructions on the website on what to do after installation (don’t worry, it’s not complicated)
– insert cd rom error/unspecified error: open the “The_Sims_2_Win_ISO_EN” folder. (The one you downloaded from here and extracted.) Find and double click on the ISO file The Sims 2 (it might be called Disc Image File). Go to This PC. You’ll see a new drive called “DVD Drive (F:) Sims 2.” Click on it and find the Crack folder. There will be a Sims 2 file there, right click on it, and run as administrator.
If it still won’t run, right click on the Sims 2 file (the one in the Crack folder) and choose “Troubleshoot Compatibility.”
Choose “Troubleshoot program”, then choose “The program worked in earlier versions of Windows but won’t install or run now” and select “Windows XP (Service Pack 3)” on the next screen. Test the program, and if it works, save the settings.
If it doesn’t work, save the settings anyway and try to run the game as administrator. Still doesn’t work? Try again with a different version of Windows.
Sorry if this was a bit complicated… Hope it helps y’all out! 🙂
I do not have an ISO file or “Disc Image File”
