yo i have ts2 ultimate collection on origin but have uninstalled it and want to get it through this because origin is a shitshow. ive extracted all the files and have deleted what files remained from origin yet when i try to begin setup, i get this error message everytime:
‘An error occured while unpacking: archive corrupted! Unarc.dll returned an error code: -7
ERROR: archive data corrupted (decompression fails).
how do i solve this?? ive tried deleting my old ts2 files thinking they were getting in the way of set up but im still stuck…
Hi, try to uninstall all of the sims 2 old files throug control panel. Restart your pc and then try again following the instruction above.
use winRar to extract files. 7zip does not work with it. speaking from experience
Would this game work with a Mac? only asking because I really want to play it but I need my computer for school and I don’t want to mess it up if It dosent work ya know?
this game is only available on Windows, if you have a Mac computer you can run Windows through Bootcamp and download the game. That is currently what I am doing in order to play the game and I can always come back to my original mac software.
Y’all need to have patience lmao, it took me a few minutes to boot up my first game, after that, everything went smoothly, the only problem I have so far is that I can’t seem to find the mods folder
In Documents -> EA Games -> The Sims 2, you must create a new folder titled ‘Downloads’. It is case sensitive meaning you need to include a capital D. That will be your mods folder.
The game works perfectly for me anyways. However I’ve been trying to download custom contacts and after I extract the files the Renoir and I put them in my downloads folder it’s an Internet browser logo rather than a folder. Can anybody help me am I doing something wrong?
When i go to change the sgr file so the resolution will work it says i need permission from the owner of the file…help?
Right-click on the file, select Properties -> Security -> Edit… -> Add… -> Write ‘Everyone’ in the box (case sensitive), check the Full Control box and then Apply. You should be able to save changes after then. If that doesn’t work, I’m pretty sure you can move the file to your desktop, make edits, then move it back to where it was.
Is there any plan to make it available for Mac OS? ❤️
No
This wont even let me download the game.. It keeps saying network error, I’ve restarted my computer and everything. Unless I’m doing something wrong? I’ve tried to download it via the first link as the torrent link wont even load anything at all.
Same thing happened to me, but I just clicked on the failed download once again in order for the download to restart and it immediately worked (it didn’t even load anymore, only straight up downloaded). So it went just fine
Try downloading µTorrent (or uTorrent) instead and use that. Your game will also download faster with this option.
can i download cc?
yes you can, just put it in mods
Can i download cc?
How can i download cc?
I downloaded this game many times and each time it worked but this time Im having issues. I cant download direct because it says my computer version isnt compatible and when I try to open the game it says I need a cd. Any help?
I downloaded everything but when I try to download direct it says my computer version isnt compatible. I downloaded this game already 3 times on this computer and each time it worked. ( i deleted everything before downloading the game). Whenever I try to start playing it says I need a cd. Please, help.
Hey I’ve ran into the same problem, have you found a resolution?
run the sims 2 logo, and it just changes my resolution to something crazy small and nothing else happens. freezes the screen and I have to force quit in task manager (which says that it’s immediately not responding.)
That’s because the game is made for older computers, and back then monitors were way smaller. You need to edit your Graphics Rules.sgr file. It could be in Mansion and Garden if you’re running it without a launcher, however, if you’re using the Lazy Duchess launcher you will want to look in Pets. First, open the file in Notepad, hit Ctrl & F to find, and type in screenmoderesolution. There you will find the default and maximum resolution sizes. You can change all of those to the resolution of your current monitor. You should probably also enable smooth edges, which is done by hitting Ctrl & F, typing in enumeratemultisamplelevels, and changing all of the ones with ‘false’ next to the keyword into ‘true’. If you can’t save it, try moving it to your desktop to make the edits before moving it back.
I wonder if you can change the language to another? I can read english just fine but it isn’t my first language
Base game is asking for cd I tried to apply no cd patch but its not working.
someone fixed this problem in the comments of this video.
