    I'm updating in case anyone else gets stuck like I did. The issue is that Sims 2 needs DX9 and Windows 10 dropped support for it. I needed to use dxvk to fix this issue. I have no idea if links are allowed but it's the first result when you search for it. Use their d3d9.dll  in your C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection\Fun with Pets\SP9\TSBin and the issue goes away.

@kyburg60 , so what exactly have you done? Have you added the 2GB patch and used Graphics Rule Maker?

Probably not.  Where would I find those resouces?

    @kyburg60 , Google search for them and it should take you right to the site that hosts Graphics Rule Maker and I think there are some Sim fan sites that host the 2GB patch.

    I've been able to get the game to run!  However, everything is flashing hot pink - what setting would cause this?

    You need the Graphics Rules maker mod, it's because the game wasn't made to handle newer systems. You also might need the 4 gb patch if you didn't apply that yet. Both of them should be the first result when you search for it.

    Both have been applied.
