Hello all, I've recently updated my computer to windows 10 and I get the following message whenever I try to play the sims 2 "This application has terminated". First I tried to remove all my mods, thinking that may be the problem. It wasn't. Then, I tried to repair my game through origin, and that didn't do anything either. I've done everything I can think of (Compatibility mode, windows mode, different screen resolution) and nothing at all works, and I'm really upset about it because it still is my favorite Sims game. Does anyone have any advice on what to do? Thank you!

You'll get an error message.With my sons skylake with windows 10 the game starts.That much I know. He got his computer after the windows 10 bios issue and his bios is updated. He is home today and on his computer but maybe Ill play a while tomorrow and see how it runs and report back if there is any crashing.

@crinrict let me know if you find out if it has the old securom like disc. Maybe @blunote00 can ask around too about TS2 UC and which securom the are using. If they did not change it I will remove it off my computer. I haven't really played it much

I haven't really played it much I don't have Win 10 or TS2 UC so I don't know. I have Win 7 and have/use the actual CD/DVDs (Mansion and Garden) stuff pack to start the game. But I have not played TS2 since last October. @blunote00 Nothing to do with any version of windows. If you speak to any gurus can you ask if they changed the securom on the download version of TS2 UC or is it the same securom version that is in the disc of TS2 . The one that can damage your computer Thanks! Oh okay, gotcha. Idk how much I will be on today so it might have to wait until Monday. I just got a 4 TB external HD and I'm in the middle of moving a lot of stuff over to it. ;)No rush. I installed it but have not played it much. If it will damage my computer it will get removed!! Awesome on the 4tb! Enjoy your new hard drive

Sadly, I have no advice for you. But the experience you describe has encouraged me to hold off upgrading to win10 the laptop I play TS2 on until after I update my win 8.1 desktop and try running TS2 there. It would mean downloading the series, CC, and the simenhancer program I use fairly often, more effort than I wanted, but it will give me a chance to test it out with the new operating system.Do you have access to geek-type technical support service via your internet security folks? They might be able to do whatever is required to re-establish compatibility between your TS2 and Win 10.

This video does show TS2 works on Windows 10. Keep in mind although it may sometimes crash. I haven't played TS2 on Windows 10 but might try it out.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVXx59QQoLA

Do you know if that's the same version that was on the disc ?

Googling there seems to be a version 8 which was probably the one on Sims 3 but I'm totally unsure about this.
