OMG!!!! I've just had to restart the EA app this morning and now my TS2 is now showing up as The Sims 2 UC instead of the DD and now I am able to install it on my new PC.So I want to thank @EA_Cade for letting EA know about this problem and getting it fixed as well as EA for fixing it for us. Now I'm a happy camper as I have TS2/3/4 on my PC... <3

Yes!The Sims 2 should now stop showing as Double Deluxe and function correctly on the EA app after our latest updates. We have a few more tweaks to make to ensure such an older title functions correctly on newer systems and apps, so stay tuned! :)

If the black shadows are only when they are inside, there's also a fix out there for that.

Here's a link for that fix: https://modthesims.info/d/569585/sim-shadow-fix-updated-2-jan-16.html

*ahem* I'm the original person who got it to work with modern operating systems, not SIMSVIP, so you might want to check out my page on Facebook.
Pay special attention to your settings when you install it. There's a PDF in the page's about section that you should read before bombarding me with questions.

Any information on whether it's available in languages other than English now? I've been getting questions about every two months on my site about that.

Heya, I believe this should be working for all languages now.
