Forum Discussion
once upon a time, I registered on EA, that page is now gone.
I'm sorry only lets me type so much,sims 1 gamer, 2,3, and 4, I just wanted to revisit 2 , should'nt block me they are my games. They were registered via EA. Before origin
Origin was not even running it has nothing to do with my sims 2, I seen them in a tote and thought wow , started installing and got to freetime, them had apartment life left, i get a pop up sayingblocked.
OK I sm not trying to register again, that site is gone, not trying to add to origin, dont think you can, in 2 you have to use the last disk you install to play I; just want to install and re-visit my old game.
@Supriti Since you've mentioned specifically FreeTime and Apartment Life, I believe I know which error you're getting. Does it say that an app has been blocked for your protection?
Digital signatures for those packs (and other packs released in 2008 as well) have expired so they will get blocked if you try to install them. This also includes the patches.
To bypass this error, please follow these steps:
- Open an elevated Command Prompt or Powershell. To do this, press the Windows key + X, and select Command Prompt (Admin) or Windows Powershell (Admin), whichever shows up in the menu. Either is fine, just remember which one it is.
- When it opens, it should say this: C:\WINDOWS\system32>. Type in the drive letter (the one your disk is in) with a colon to switch to it, then press Enter, e.g. D: or E:, etc. then Enter.
- The location should switch from C:\Windows\system32 to the drive you entered. If you are doing this in Command Prompt, type in Autorun.exe and press Enter. If it is in Powershell, type in .\Autorun.exe and press Enter. The installer should open without throwing an error.
