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.

I followed the tutorial step by step and did everything but when i go to open and play the game, it opens but doesn’t load. It Justs zooms in my window. Does anyone know how to fix this?
everyone who keeps getting “please insert the correct DVD-ROM, select OK and restart application” you have to run it as admin and it will pop up
i was able to open at first, it crashed and now i keep getting that pop up even though im running as admin. any ideas?
im having the same issue
So are we just going to ignore the fact that up there it says this is the ULTIMATE COLLECTION however when i run it its just simply the base game? You mean to tell me I wasted my time doing all this extra ish just to be installing the base game? Cause you failed to reiterate that its not the ultimate collection….jfc.
I can’t change the resolution. Despite editing the file
The game is running fine. Sadly the kitchen, bathroom and other items are missing and unreachable. Any ideas?
Does not work. I opened it and it said please insert the correct DVD-ROM, select OK and restart application do not get
After instalation, I copy nocd.exe to game location, csbin. But game doesn’t work.
“please insert the correct DVD-ROM, select OK and restart application”
doesn’t work when installing it says this C:\users\ADMINI~1\appdata\local\temp\rar$exa7696.32820\eaunistall.exe from the media.
Hello, I still cannot run the game as it says “Please insert CD ROM”. I installed in windows 11 and have done all the steps correctly. Please advise.
My game crashes after I open a world, or if not then, when I open a household :\
Anche a me…
Why all the hate on this page? I tried it and it worked for me. Some people really dk how to follow basic instructions smh
I mean a lot of people aren’t as tech savy when it comes to roms. I remember trying this out years ago when I didn’t have a clue for these things but now that I’m more comfortable with my computer I got it running in twenty mins.
I think this wasn’t helpful and just a waste of time. I think that if their going to post this website saying its free they should actually tell the truth.
I was having issues. Resolution for my Windows 10 after extraction:
It automatically mounted to DVD.
I ran the AutoRun file and entered the serial key
Opened crack file
Right clicked on that file, went to properties, changed compatibility to windows XP
Ran the Sims2 file in the crack file
Why is this even still up for download…. Spent an hour trying my own problem solving. Spent an hour following the guide, step by step (ALL SEVEN STEPS LMAO). Uninstalled a few times, rebooted a few more. I’m blacklisting this site. I’ve been a peg leg pirate for 10 years. Never seen anything this awful.
you’re stupid
Really glad this website lets you post freely.
There is NO setup.exe file included in the download. Do not waste your time with this.
(I know what ISOs are. I know how to mount. I know how to find and search for files. There are no files names “setup.exe” in the disc image. There are not ANY executable files period.)
samething for me
