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.

Hiya, there is a black square under my sims, just like a shadow, but none of the screenshots show it, can someone help?
Set your shadows to medium. Might look a bit worse but I mean, since it’s a 2004 game does it really make much of a difference? xD

is there any way to change the language for the game?
Google it. But It does messing around with registry, so set up system restore point before trying.
Every time I try to copy and paste the Sims2.exe folder it says there’s not enough room in that folder?? Can someone help pls?
Did you put Sims2.exe into TSbin?
Hi! I’m sorry to bother, I hav dowload a program to mount the ISO file, but I can’t find it in the folder. I have read the the tutorial but I none of the files from the folder has an ISO extension. I would appreciate if someone can help me, I apologize if it’s something obvious but I have no experiencie downloading games and I would be gratefull if someone can give me a hand. Thank you in advance!
Usually the icon looks like a CD
Just because it doesn’t have .iso doesn’t mean it’s not an image. Look in Game Files and see if there’s any obvious-looking file.
Hi! I have no experience downloading PC games. I can’t find the ISO fille to mount it, someone knows where it is? Thank you!

Put it on Sims 2 installation path, inC:/ > Program Files x86 > EA Games > The Sims 2 > TSBin
Am I suppose to put just the “Sims2.exe” or the whole “NoCD” folder?
