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.

um is there anyway on how you can change the language for sims? since when i went in to the registrary there wasent a language file
1: Open Registry Editor
On Windows 2000/XP, navigate to Start, Run, then type “regedit”.
For Windows Vista, go to Start, and in the “Search” field enter “regedit”. Select it from the list that comes up or just press Enter. You may have to accept a security warning.
For Windows 7,8,8.1, press windows key and type “regedit” and hit enter.
2: Find your game in Registry Editor
For the base game only (no expansions/stuff packs/etc.) In the left pane, navigate through the folders, following this path: ComputerHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREEA GAMESThe Sims 21.0
For expansion packs/stuff packs:
In the left pane, navigate through the folders, following this path: ComputerHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREEA GAMES*name of last-installed expansion or stuff pack*1.0
3: Change the language
1.In the right pane of the window, find the entries labeled “Language” and “LanguageName”.
2. Double-click “Language” and, using the list below, change the previous number to the number or letter corresponding to the language you wish to switch to. Be sure it’s set to “Hexadecimal”. Click OK.
3.This isn’t necessary, but it’s a good idea: Double-click “LanguageName”. Using the list below and the number or letter you just entered, enter the name of the language you wish to switch to. Click OK.
4.If you have expansion packs, especially more than one, it could be helpful to change each key for each expansion (and the base game) just to be sure they’re kept in sync. Language List

krl vc aqui?
Sim, não dá de só traduzir mangá, tem que jogar um pouquinho
When im trying to move the NOCD sims 2 file to the TSBin it keeps saying i have not enough storage? How can i stop this so i can move the file over? I’m guessing it isnt my storage which is the issue as i have lots
It doesn´t let me change the resolution 🙁 I can´t save the “graphic rules” folder because it says that I need permission from the owner or admin
You MIGHT be able to move the graphics rules folder to the desktop, edit it there, then move it back, but I don’t know, sorry.
Hey there why do i not have any available pet adoption?
to have pets (in general) you have to download “the sims 2 pets” also
Guys, if you have a problem with installing this game, follow this tutorial: https://allaboutdisil.wordpress.com/2021/01/19/how-to-install-the-sims-2-on-windows-10/
Can you please help me set up the installation its too confusing 🙁 Do you have a video tutorial on how to set it up it’d be way easier to follow along
So, I got through the serial code part- I really like the mini game thing while you wait for download, they should use that more often- got the thing downloaded and it appears on the desktop, but when I try to open it, it loads and then it gives me a blank warning. It says nothing and just shows a red ‘x’, which I think just means that it doesn’t work.
I wanted to try to do this before getting the actual Sims 2 disc to try and see if it would be any easier. I’m really just confused on what else to do right now and would appreciate if anyone could help.
follow my tutorial https://disq.us/url?url=https%3A%2F%2Fallaboutdisil.wordpress.com%2F2021%2F01%2F19%2Fhow-to-install-the-sims-2-on-windows-10%2F%3AQSL69XQajj-zQaW2bD5eOahvN08&cuid=5574651. If you have question, just ask me here.
Did you copy the NoCD crack exe to the Sims 2 directory? You must do that first. Go to your extracted downloaded folder, then go to NoCD and then copy Sims2EP3.exe. Paste it in Program Files (or Program Files x86)EA GAMESThe Sims 2TSBin. It should work now.
When I try to install it, I can’t put the serial code in because it says I need to insert a CD/DVD.
When I try to start the game it says “this app can’t run because it causes security or performance issues on Windows” – how do i resolve this? Many thanks 🙂
Im having the same problem!! 🙁
After installing, creating a new game & adding expansion pack neighborhoods to town, I’m unable to create a sim? As soon as I get to actually adding a sim to a new household in CAS, the game freezes & crashes with just the message “The application has crashed & will now terminate.” Any ideas?
I am trying to adjust the resolution for this download and every time I try to adjust the “Graphics Rules” file it says I do not have permission to save the updated file anywhere in the Sims 2 Ultimate Collection folder. Help please?
plz help. it kept on saying to insert cd/drive eventho i have already followed the instructions 😭
ım having problems with opening its about version of my windows please help
When I click “run as administrator” it says “insert the correct DVD-ROM”.
Please Help!
