Unbelievable Sims 2

I finally got Sims 2 to work on my Windows 10 computer without constantly crashing. I’ve been playing about a week and all I can say is WOW!!! Sims 2 is just unbelievably great! I love it!! This is what The Sims is supposed to be! The Sims 3 is a great game, but TS2 blows it out of the water. And can you imagine going from The Sims 4 to The Sims 2? Kinda like Dorothy stepping out of the house into The Land of Oz!!! Long live Sims 2!

    Sims 2 is still the best game of the series. I have tried Sims 3 and 4 but I can't sit and play those 2 like I can with Sims 2. There are just too many differences between the 3 games that make Sims 2 my go-to game.

    Yes TS2 was and always will be pure magic ♥️ Some of the very best parts of my childhood were spent marvelling over that game. I'll never forget how amazed I was opening it the very first time.. so, all that's left to say is: enjoy!!!!!

    That's a wonderful analogy: Dorothy steping out of the house! Love it!

    is there any way to change the resolution? when I launch my sims 2 game it takes only the middle of the screen, and I can't see their needs WITH their wants and fears, it's always one or the other...

    @HardingL2020 Hi, you’re gonna have to have some kind of disk drive to install the disks. With a laptop, it will have to be an external drive, I guess. Are you sure your laptop can handle it? Be sure and check the game requirements against your laptop specs.?

    I could play once this year. After one of the update of windows that definitively broke it even without cc. I loved the details of the animations compared to the sims 3 and sims 4. :'( When my simself played a computer game she inserted the cd rom on the tower oh that was awesome !!!

    honestly, I agree with you I started playing the sims with the sims 4 and I can say that although there's still a lot of problems te sims 2 is the best I've played of the franchise
