    WitchElestren spikeyh Uncookedfern DarkLady2788 Geochan92  Please try forcing the game to run in windowed mode.  For EA App installs, open the App game library, click the three dots in the upper-right corner of the Sims 2 Legacy icon, select View properties, and add -w to the command line box.  For Steam, add -w under Sims 2 > Properties > General > Launch Options.

    EndlessSims3  You can't get this new release for free no matter what else you own, sorry.
