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.

hi hi!! sorry if this is a dumb question but is it possible to play this with mods???
i tried to put mods in the download folder, but the game would always crash
i ended up reinstalling the game and i haven’t tried putting any mods in again yet cause i don’t really wanna go through all that again, so… yeah lol
Is this supposed to work on Windows 11? The game is running in the background but every time I try to open the window to the game it doesn’t let me, I just glimpse the start screen. So close yet so far!
Hi! I’m following the tutorial but I get an error of “Direct3d returned an error: E_INVALIDARG! The application will now terminate”. I have a Windows 11 64bit
Everything seemed to work well at first, but i can’t remove walls in building mode. I just can’t find a hammer button. There’s no problem with objects, just grab them and press delete, but there is no hammer button. I have only played ultimate collection on my old laptop before and there was one, but i can’t it here.
Keep strg pressed and you can delete Walls just like you built them
I Can’t Even Play Sims 2

I’m having a problem and can’t get past this error. “A problem occurred when trying to transfer the file ‘………..’ from the media.”
Everything went great, until i had to do 5th step, because apparently I didn’t had enough space in the sims file, how can i fix it? I used laptop and i didn’t had to use winrar.
Same here I can’t find a single “NoCD” folder anywhere
