Download & Install

  1. Download the all-in-one version HERE
  2. Switch off your anti-virus program as the crack might be seen as a Trojan
  3. In Windows 8.1 or higher rightclick on the downloaded file and select Open with …. Explorer.
    Older versions of Windows: Mount the download in a program like Poweriso or Daemon.
  4. Click on Setup.exe, not on Setup-1 or Setup-2 (Mind you, it takes rather long so be patient)

Change language

  1. Keep the Windows key pressed and type R
  2. In the window type regedit and click on OK
  3. Now follow this path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE
    On a 32-bits machine you can now go to EA Games, on a 64-bits Windows you first have to go to WoW6432Node and then to EA Games
  4. Open the folder The Sims 2, double-click on Language and alter the default en-us in the abbreviation of your language, such as nl-NL, fr-FR, no-NO
  5. Do the same with the folder Sims 2 Mansion and Garden Stuff
  6. Close the Register
  7. When you changed a language always start the first time as an Administrator (rightclick on the shortcut)

  1. I’m having a problem, I downloaded it correctly but there’s no saves folder, what can I do? (My sims don’t save, I looked for the folder and couldn’t find it)

  2. Hey Tarac!

    While installing I’m experiencing issues, the installer says:

    ISDone.dll

    An error occurred while decompressing: Archive header is corrupt!
    Unarc.dll returned an error code: -14
    ERROR: this is not FreeArc Archive or this archive is corrupt

  3. Hi Tarac, I installed the sims 2 and it appears in English but I want it in Italian. I did all the steps written there but then it tells me it’s impossible to modify.

  4. Thank you so, so much for this. I do own all the disks from way back when, but was always afraid they would become unplayable. Hugs!

  5. ive been using this website forever to download all the sims game. i love it. i never got a virus or had any issues with the game. Other than sims 2, but just bcos of how you need to optimize it for modern computers (nothing to do with the actual download of the game).

  6. Hi,
    Thank you so much for putting the game out here 🙂
    fOR ME IT ALL WORK BUT i4M MISSING THE ikea STFF EVEN THOUGH i CAN SEE THAT THE FOLDER EX
    For me, the game works fine I’m missing the IKEA stuff though even if I can see that the folder exists. Comparing it to the other I don’t see the file ”CSBin”. There is only ”TSBin” and ”TSData”.
    And also, I’ve noticed that the ”TSData” folder is less bigger thant in the others > Kitchen & Bath Interior Design Stuff, Mansion and Garden Stuff, etc
    There is only one folder ”Control”, the reste are missing > ”Res” & ”Sys”

    Please could somebody help me on this ? That would be really kind.
    Tracy

  7. I am trying to change the screen resolution, I have edited the graphic config but it won’t let me save as I don’t have admin of file. Tried running through notepad as administrator but still no luck

  8. The game works perfectly and I had no issues downloading it. The only problem is that I can’t change the screen resolution: I tried every tutorial, but I’m not even sure I modified the correct sgr file, since I had to dig into every folder with a “The Sims 2” title. Where do I look for it? How can I be sure I have the correct one this time?

  9. My game is crashing repeatedly, during various stages of gameplay, no particular actions seem to trigger it. Sometimes it crashes in loading screens, or while adding a new destination to a neighborhood, sometimes on household lots, as well as in CAS. The error message is always the same: “The application has crashed. The application will now terminate.” I have uninstalled with Revo and reinstalled and am still having the same issue. Game was installed with antivirus turned off. Am I missing something? It shouldn’t be an issue with my computer’s ability to run the game, as it runs Sims 3/4 just fine.

    1. Hi! I’m having the same issue. I’m pretty sure I know how to fix it but the folder wont actually give me permission to do it grr!
