Sims 2 Legacy - SIMS2PACK Files

Has anyone tried to add their old Sims2Pack Files to todays release or figured out how we can add them to the game?

    If you don't already have a The Sims 2 folder in the Documents\EA Games folder from an older release, you should be able to use the MKLINK command in Command Prompt to create a directory junction named The Sims 2 that points to the The Sims 2 Legacy folder, then install the Sims2Packs with something like the Clean Installer.

  • Unfortunately I no longer have that old version folder...😢 Not sure how to do the command prompt!

    Well, you don't want that old folder for it to work. Username will differ based on yours, but press Windows key+R, enter cmd and press Enter, then in Command Prompt use MKLINK /J "C:\Users\Username\Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\" "C:\Users\Username\Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2 Legacy\".

    This will create something like a shortcut named The Sims 2 that points to the The Sims 2 Legacy folder.
