    Same here man I know the feeling. I hate to buy something that doesn't work it's Flustrating indeed I hope they get this Fixed or else I'm requesting a refund because I know I don't want a game that's not gonna Run plus I checked my Requirements and my Specs Are good to run the Game. But sims 1 only works on my end but for some reason sims 2 want launch It just stays on a loading screen It doesn't proceed.  So yes I'm having that same issue. So EA please fix it asap. I even tried Steam and it's doing the same thing
