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 want to change the language in french but I don’t the language file with regedit..
I wrote this thing on how to make the Sims 2 work with windows 10 [google docs]. If you’re having problems it might help you. It includes links to many programs and mods that will make your game look good and run smoothly.
please link
the link is in the parentheses and says google docs
Hey, when i’m installing it at about 70% i get an error message that says unable to write data to disk error code -11 can you please help ?? (I read a comment that says it might be from lack of space but i have over 60GB of free space)
Hey, hey, hey! Thought I’d better let you know that the instructions you’ve included with the download for changing the resolution don’t match the files present in your download!
To clarify: The folders “TSdata” “Res” and “config” don’t seem to exist anywhere in the program files, let alone a file named “graphicrules”. The game is SO ugly running on 800×600. If someone could upload some updated instructions that would be live saving.
you sure you cant find any of that? have you try right clicking the desktop icon and open the file location? because if you cant find the files, doesnt it mean that you cant play the game? :/
Please add Mac version
Is there a way to change the language of the game? The method with Regedit does not work, there is no “EA GAMES” in “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE> SOFTWARE” …
Is this multilanguage?
none of these ae working for me. ive downloaded twice now and neither of the files have a install option
I downloaded it perfectly fine, but WinRar is saying that the support.exe file is corrupt so it won’t extract. Is there anyway to fix this?
this doesn’t work, this was just a waste of time.
