@tewsyawla , I'm sorry you feel this way. Those of us who post here with possible solutions are mostly a volunteer staff meaning we do not work for EA and are players like yourself who try to help others get their games to run.
Please remember that Sims 2 is over 15 years old and so requires special tweaks, equipment and patches to play on newer computers. You can purchase an external CD drive (I have one even though my computer hasn't had a CD drive for well over 10 years) to use to install and run your game. Please do note that the only digital version of the game available these days is for the Mac OS as the game Sims 2 was officially retired in 2018 by EA/Maxis.
CD drives aren't that expensive and are certainly cheaper than a whole new computer.
If you need help to install your game once you get a new drive, please feel free to post here and we will help you to get your game up and running again.
