Sims 2 re-release not launching

Hi!

Has anyone had a problem launching the sims 2?

Bought both of them with the birthday bundle.

Sims 1 working fine just , but 2 isn't loading. No error screen or anything.

Any Ideas? I'm so upset 😭

    Hi! The fix that worked for me is to add -w to your launch properties (in either Steam or the EA App):

    For EA App, 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.

    then view properties
