Well this is nuked.. Tried to install University EP1 , but it prompt me for disc 1..Cannot continue.
Yea it keeps asking for disc :/
This ultimate collection have all EP and SP, including university. If u want to install seperately, go here and follow my instruction at Comments section: https://oldgamesdownload.org/the-sims-2/
I’m getting an error message saying “The Sims 2 has not installed on this system, or some required files have been deleted. This expansion pack requires The Sims 2 before attempting to run this application.” after clicking on the icon that is on my desktop after installing everything. I’m guessing the icon is the actual game because it says the sims 2 ultimate collection but that message keeps popping up and I cant even open it or anything, just the message shows up when I click on it.
U open the “Sims2EP9.exe” right?
hello! i am having the same problem, i did open Sims2EP9.exe
Well probably your installation is corrupted. Reinstall it
what exp packs does it have?
All of expansion and stuff pack is here, except TS2 IKEA Home Stuff.
dumbass question but how do i move it to an external drive bc i tried and it just broke the game in like 3 ways lmfao and every tutorial says “use the origin steam etc launcher to do it automatically :)!” is there a tutorial somewhere…
Well why u need to use external drive? The Sims 2 is not a portable game, and will never be. Also, what do u mean “broke the game in like 3 ways”? Is it throwing error or any else?
yeah i just ended up redownloading, but its only bc my computer has limited space so i just moved all my other games to it. i dont mean for portability just extra storage lol my computer is cheap
U might consider the “base game only” version, because it only takes 2 gb. Go here for more info and tutorial: https://allaboutdisil.wordpress.com/2021/01/19/how-to-install-the-sims-2-on-windows-10/
I’m trying to setup the game, but this thing keeps popping up. Should I be worried?
“An error occured while unpacking: Unable to read data!
Unarc.dll returned an error code: -6
ERROR: can’t open file”
The instructions told me to extract everything to desktop, could that be the reason, or did i screw something else up??
Place it in your D:/ drive
all drivers are current but I’m still getting the DirectX error. I downloaded the Graphics Rule Maker but can’t find the application file (I tried navigating to the correct folder and also typing in the location)
Graphics rules maker should run in administrator mode by right clicking at the shortcut and press run as administrator
The Sims 2 is in Mr DJ folder, not the classic EA Games folder.
Update 3 April 2021
1. If you installed and can play the game correctly, I suggest you to use 4GB patch. Basically this is an app that will allows TS2 to use 4GB Ram or more. This will make your game more stable and reduce crashes about 60%. Here is the tutorial: https://bit.ly/2PovvYu
2. Backup the setup file somewhere on your D:/ drive, because to be honest, Desktop isn’t the suitable best for keeping files. Or, if you have a big flash disk (32gb or so on), backup the setup there.
3. Backup your save files every week or so, because if anything bad happened, you can restore the save files. This is maybe the oldest advice here, but yeah, many people still don’t know about it.
4. Update your Graphics Card driver if you have “Failed to find any DirectX 9.0c….” problem. Make system restore before updating.
5. My “How to install Sims 2” tutorial development is suspended. Instead, I will make small-sized tutorial in my Blog. Sorry for the inconvenience.
6. I think @osab left this forum. So yeah, follow my tutorial instead. I knew this is somewhat forcing, but for now only me that is active.
It didnt work for me, whenever I open the game its just a black screen.
does it works on macbook pro with wine?
Hi! how to fix this? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/913bcb4654817309231802e0aa361569fe5f2edfc2abc014c774bc488e5c8c9e.jpg
Re-extract the files. But before that disable your antivirus
I already re extract the files to my desktop but it says “Decompression problem: broken compressed data”
extract to your D: drive instead. If the problem still not solved, then redownload the file using download manager
I’m unable to change the shadow in the in game graphics – it’s greyed out. Help please.
First, go into a family (random). Then go to settings and change the shadow.
This happens to me when I click on the game after everything is installed, I even installed Graphics Rules Maker but it´s still the same.. Pls help.. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/fa01189674e2bed79721564a87ffd112c0ebd11fcb660a043d3cbd0fcf91a2eb.png
Update your graphics card driver.
i tried changing the resolution like instructed but i cannot edit the document, i do not have permission. even with a tool to give me permission to files, used on every folder from program files onwards, i cannot get permission. it also doesnt work if i drag the file to desktop. how can i fix this?
Open Notepad (run as administrator), then press Ctrl+O and select the files. And edit it, then save it. It should work.
I have downloaded it but it is only showing up on my downloads as a broken internet explorer link?
What? Your download may be corrupted. Do you see .rar file in there? If not, deactivate your antivirus then redownload
Why do I have to delete my EA Games folder in my documents? I play Sims 3 and Sims 4 and they are in this folder.
The Sims 3 and Sims 4 should use a folder titled “Electronic Arts”. This is not the same as a folder titled “EA Games”.
Thank you, I am German which means my folders sometimes have different names so I guess this created my confusion 🙂
Hey du 🙂
Ich hab mir die Datei noch nicht vollständig heruntergeladen.
Aber ich hab doch schon ein paar Fragen im Vorraus:
Kennst du einen Weg, die Sprache auf Deutsch zu stellen?
und:
Gibt es einen BodyShop inklusive?
Liebe Grüße! 🙂
Delete “EA Games” folder, not “Electronic Arts” folder.
Could you try reposting that comment with an even more condescending tone 🙂
Ok :), done it.
