- Seera10243 years agoSeasoned AceThere is currently not a legal way to get it on the PC.
Mac's I still think have access to the Super Collection which is basically their version. It has all but the last few packs that were never ported to Mac. - suceress3 years agoRising AceThanks. I wish my pc's hard drive hadn't failed. I would have tried to copy it over and installed it (as my laptop is newer and runs better). Even with the CDs, I've heard that newer versions of Windows can't run them.
- Just the discs, really. Buy an external disk drive. It has been reduced to an accessory now, but you can run disks with it.
- Also, compatibility mods. I haven't messed with 2 in a bit, but I found a mod to get Sims 1 working on my current laptop. There is bound to be something for 2.
- suceress3 years agoRising AceI know it was a lot for them to manage, but I wish they would re-release it on Origin. At the time it was available my internet was so crappy I wasn't able to load it. I only recently got a new ISP that has unlimited data. I spent 20+ years with data caps.
I know #firstworldproblems
Still hoping I can figure out how to get it working. - yeah sadly didn't get it when they put it on origin i wish they would re add it
i've lost most of my old sims games to time and the remaining discs are in really rough shape
not to talk of having to get disc drive thingy if i were to even try to play them - The discs can be played on Windows 10. I did it myself through Seasons. It was some work to get Windows 10 to accept SafeDisk DRM which is why it won't let you play it, since MS disabled Windows 7 and Windows 10 from being able to play any disc with SafeDisk as the copy protection.
Also, Securom on the discs or store versions like Fun with Pets etc. is why those later discs starting with H&M won't be able to be installed. There is a long work around to get Windows 10 to play the discs since it's your pc and not MS's, but it does take a tutorial. But yes, you can play the game with discs. - Hopefully they will put it back on origin. I have a few of the sims 2 packs but if I got a used copy on eBay of the expansion packs, would they still work?
- suceress3 years agoRising AceIf you have to register the game code it will probably not work, but if you only need the code to make the disks work then it might.
I have Windows 7 Ultimate on my desktop so it won't read the Sims2 disks (and it won't detect my mouse so I can't use it until I figure that problem out).
I believe the dogs chewed at least two of my Sims2 CDs and my brother broke at least one. - @Suceress so I can enter my sims 2 codes in origin?
